He bought eight buildings, then didn’t have enough left to redevelop any of them?

While it sucks if you can’t get a loan, maybe you should have tried this with one property before trying to do it with 8 at the same time...

In fairness to him, all the buildings are part of a complex, so buying the entire set for redevelopment would normally make sense.
