@Steven Taylor when you say 75 duplexes... was that in 1 deal, for a client or something else?

Thanks for your contributions, everyone. It seems for the most part, the consensus is that everything is open and running as normal with some modifications. This is helpful--I'm going to stay the course and keep trying to find a good investment that meets my specs. Thanks again!

Drive-through closing. Wow. Video-conferencing closings would be great. My worry was that they'd shut things down instead, but it seems they're looking into ways to keep the real estate market open and running.

I'm making offers on SFR mostly in Fulton County and curious to see if everyone has been able to arrange inspections, appraisals etc easily amidst covid-19 shutdowns?

Everything moves in cycles. Covid is likely bringing on an overdue recession. We'll get out of this and move into recovery, then expansion, and then something will happen to trigger another recession. We all have our moments of anxiety about all this, but the only thing we know for certain is things will return to normal at some point--of course, a new and different version of normal (like America post 9-11), but normal all the same

I live across 2 continents (work in Australia, but call NYC home). I have reserves in both currencies. 6 months in AUD, a little bit more in USD. 

38 holes is a lot. Yet, if they're tiny (picture-hanging) holes, I'd probably let it go. The key thing feels petty--you're going to have to change the locks anyway.

Thanks @Abel Curiel @Jonathan Greene @Lien Vuong @Evan Polaski and @Alex Olson I appreciate your perspectives. I sent them my pre-approval, connected them with my lender and signed an agreement within the first few days of being connected with them-- so there shouldn't be a doubt about my eagerness or funding, but it sounds like I need to have a conversation setting expectations with them in a tactful way--or at least better understanding their ways of working...

Hi all, 
I'm looking to buy a property in Atlanta and I'm based in NYC. I'm working with a REA on recommendation, however, I'm finding this person moves a little too slow compared to what I'm used to. For example, seems to not work (ie reach out to sellers agents, put in offers, etc) on weekends and takes a little bit of time in jumping on the viewings I'd like scheduled. Asked for some info on a property I wanted to make an offer on, and days later learned the property is now under contract.

Now, I come from a corporate NYC background where working on weekends is the norm, and where folks are hungry so will go above and beyond to make sure a deal is landed, delivered and closed ASAP.

Before I raise it with the agent, I just want to make sure I don't have unrealistic expectations, given southern norms may be different from NYC. Am I being unreasonable or should I find a different agent?
Thank you.
