Investing in buy and hold real estate

[Winfred Brown]

Hi all newbie here. I am currently ready to start investing in buy and hold real estate in Fayetteville, NC. I wanted to know if investing while COVID issues are going on is a good idea or not, or should I keep going further into the process of investing, pre-approval process,etc. I have been researching biggerpockets for a while and I am ready to start investing but wanted to see what seasoned investors think. Thank you for your time in advance.
