Before the virus hit in March, our local real estate markets in Scranton PA and surrounding towns were moving along quite nicely.

@Eric Brunner would you say they have dropped since the virus?

I read Taylor's reply and want to add some additional thoughts ... are any of the tenants currently behind in their rent and/or known to be employment impacted by the virus?

My main occupation is the entertainment industry, which is shut off from the virus, so trying to put this time to good use, which is why I'm weighing this situation from the perspective of an investor. 

The problem is I dont really want to throw 20% cash down again for another property, due to this virus thing. 

I am wondering whether anyone has any experience if there has been an impact to the section 8 voucher program as a result of the entire Corona virus situation.

@Chris BellKeep in mind that in order to take a distribution or loan under the CARES Act you must have been impacted by the virus in one of the enumerated ways.Distributions:If so, you can take a penalty-free distribution (as well as waive the 20% withholding requirement) from your 401k (assuming that the employer allows it) anytime between 1/1/2020 and 12/31/2020.

The corona virus essentially dried up the supply chain of properties on the market or coming to the market.

So it looks like the second wave of the virus is picking up throughout the US with certains states getting hit harder than others.
