Holding onto inventory is death. In auto and housing sales if you’re a dealership you’re leveraged in order to hold that inventory (paying interest on it, less friendly interest than you get as a government backed mortgage borrower) and you’re paying insurance and maintenance on that inventory. Vacant houses depreciate very quickly.
