Is REO listing a dead business?

[John Apple]

I've been researching ways to find legit connections that will lead to REO listings. I am willing to do BPO's to start out, however, I cant seem to find info on those either. Contacted the HUD asset manager for my area and heard nothing back. I know CARES is prohibiting foreclosures right now, but I think there will be a high demand for REO agents once foreclosures start again in the coming months. Am I correct in this prediction, or is trying to position myself for REO listings a waste of time?
