Start now or wait a bit?
Hi experienced investors,
One day before the president said to stay home, I was about to look for my first deal. Would you wait to do your 1st deal or go ahead now? I had spoken to a bank about pulling equity in my home and a lender about financing as well. I was about to start looking for my first deal. Right now, I’m concerned about finding contractors after I find a place and navigating possible tenants etc. to get the place rented. What are your thoughts? What are you doing right now? I think that once we are free to move again, I’ll be ready to move full speed ahead.
