Pulse Check on Real Estate Investing Plans with the Market Uncertainty

[Vishal M.]

We all could agree there is a lot of volatility, uncertainty in the market now and possibly in the next few months. And I understand we have no idea how the market would change in the next few weeks/months.

I am a new'ish RE investor and ideally would love to purchase a Duplex in the the next 1-2 months in Columbus (OH), however I am really confused.
Curious how are you all thinking about your real estate investment plans in the coming months? I know we cannot time the market but trying to get a pulse check with the folks here.

I feel either of the below may be an option. Feel free to add from your side.

1. 1. Business as usual? Keep investing the way you did before, since noone can time the market
2. 2. Business as usual, but with least risk? Keep investing however, lean strongly towards minimizing the risk you may want to take.
3. 3. Stop investing until the market stabilizes?

 I primarily align with option one. My investment strategy has remained consistent. Since I began in 2017, numerous events have influenced individuals' views on investing. Many are still hesitant, while I now own over 100 properties. It's essential to make wise investments without overextending yourself with poor debt. By focusing on solid fundamentals, you can achieve long-term success, irrespective of market fluctuations.
