In this brief testimonial, the speaker recounts buying a property just five days before the COVID‑19 lockdown began. The lockdown caused an almost total loss of tenants, leaving only one occupant. To cover the resulting operating deficits, the owner injected roughly $140,000–$150,000 of personal funds. Later, as Amazon’s delivery business expanded, demand for the property’s location increased, enabling the owner to sell a portion of the asset. The sale generated a sizable profit that not only recouped the earlier losses but also left the owner ahead financially, illustrating a resilient turnaround from pandemic‑induced hardship to a successful exit.

Chapters

We purchased a property 5 days before COVID lockdown hit. Oh, wow. We lost every tenant except one during that period of time. So we had to put in $140,000 or $150,000 to make up for operating losses. You know, Amazon got bigger on their delivery and we were able to sell the part of the property. And we were able to sell that at a fairly large-sized profit, make up for all the losses plus some. So we did all right.
