How is everyone feeling on buying now?
I am just getting my feet wet in real estate and I am curious to know what is everyone thinking regarding purchasing multi family investment properties now during a pandemic?
I’ve been reading and watching videos and it seems like many are leaning towards waiting to see what the markets do. I feel like market can be a bit difficult to time, and seems like many are selling properties to avoid a loss.
Would love to hear from more experienced investors on your opinion: Do you think now is a good time to invest for someone new to real estate or wait it out until 2021?
Thanks

If you have run the numbers and it appears to be a good deal, then I would go for it. Desirable properties do not come up every day, and when they do, I always want to be ready. If I worried about timing the market, I would have never invested in real estate. Do your due diligence on the cash flow and expenses and analyze deals. Wishing you great success!
