I own 4 SFR... and a 4-Plex. in Eagle Rock/Glassell Park area, Los Angeles.  

I think you already know the answer to this question but are hoping for a silver lining as it feels like this is all you can afford at the moment. 

The Cypress Park/Glassell Park area could also be an option, it’s cheaper than Atwater/Silver Lake area and you could find a larger home in your price range.

They are confronting all their various soul challenges on wings of eagles.

For the the person liquidating their 401k and grandma's silver to get in on the action, this seems like a bad option, because if it goes bad, then they are most likely facing some sort of cash flow issue, which leads to a large lose of capital and some life changing decisions.

Just looking for a few tips on if the bladensburg, hyattsville, silver spring, Gaithursburg, temple hills and or the montgomery village areas are good places to invest in.

Generally, @Cori White Eagle, 20-25% down. 30-year amortization...generally

I am currently looking mainly in North Hollywood and East LA (glassell park, eagle rock, etc) My main question is if now, because of the looming economy issues and the ongoing pandemic problems, is an unwise time to try to make this work? 

Here is how my investments are broken down using approximate numbers.Real Estate= 60% reflected in equity positions (pays me to own it/dividends in the form of cash flow/appreciation)Physical Gold= 8% (hedge investment)Physical Silver= 16% (held as speculative asset with inherent redeemable value)Bitcoin + other Blockchain via coinbase= 8% (held as speculative asset-long term value unknown) I know some people will ask how I can be a precious metals bug and own Bitcoin.......The truth is that people much smarter than me have decided that it is a speculative asset class that is worth gambling on.

I actually had one other bid I didnt mentioned where the roofer only looked at the roof from Google Eagle Eye and said $6K in less than an hour.
