I don't remember this happening in February and March last year.It seems more buyers are getting off the sidelines.

In contrast, wholesalers focus on quick, off-market transactions, often sidelining realtors, and potentially undervaluing the property to ensure their profit when the contract is sold.2.

Remember, games aren't won from the sidelines...ya gotta play to win! 

I let a setback sideline my real estate investing for close to 24 years.

Yes in the sidelines.  

In the past I think analysis paralysis kept people on the sidelines.  

I stopped for a while to do life coaching and energy work, and then I met a guy who was a broker that wanted to get more into the development side so we teamed up with his dad, a lawyer, and started up.As things have progressed, I am now finding lots of deals, and as it turns out, the guy I am working with is not really delivering the investors like he said he could/would so I am learning that part of the process now too as most of my deals sit quietly on the sidelines.

I have been sitting on the sidelines for a while focusing on building my Airbnb/VRBO business.

The difficult part right now is money is expensive to borrow, a lot of buyers are on the sidelines waiting for borrowing to get cheaper. 

I will say this, rates will come down some eventually and when they do, everyone sitting on the sidelines waiting to buy will probably jump in and push up prices.
