I have switched some money to investing in REITs via Robinhood since I will get the advantage of "fixed" income without the transaction costs and liquidity issues.

Our other tenants were great and moving out after long-term lease but didn't pay full mortgage amount (which is how we got behind in addition to a layoff) but things are better now.

In addition to evaluating the city job growth, you need to pay attention to any major industry or employer that may be responsible for more than 25% of the market, because if the dominant industry or employer is in trouble so is your property (due to layoffs).

For example if mass layoffs where to happen - but instead we have record low un employment rates.Here is my only caveat: record boom markets like TX and FL could see some sort of a technical correction and prices could soften there after exploding - correcting an exuberance.

I currently work as an REO Asset manager for one of the largest banks, however, due to layoffs my assignment is ending on 09/17.

As oil slides and layoffs continue in the Houston area, I believe most r/e investors are making some form of adjustment(s) to their portfolios or the way they buy, or what they buy.My investor clients seem to be all over the map in terms of their approach.

Then it’s time to start the layoffs.

in 2023, with layoffs, a new higher baseline of rates, etc.

But, I do not know what the current outlook of my company may be in the coming months and want to prepare myself  in case there are potential layoffs and what not.  

They lay off people it seems like every six months.
