Well, it's hard to say that I would have come out better or worse since I am speculating on what I might have bought.

This will hopefully change now in the upcoming economic "adjustment" we'll undoubtedly experience but I'm far from an expert in that area so won't speculate further.

I realize this is a highly speculative question since we won't know the impact of this crisis until it's over, but would be interested to know what factors you feel are important.

There is speculation (although I would say much of that is factual) that the Gov't assisted in the start of the Depression.

There is also a 1,000+ job creation through an Amazon warehouse to be built by 2021 in the immediate vicinity(speculative- private companies can pull out.

You want fast, you are closer to speculating than investing and your risk skyrockets​."

Most people who are wiped out in a crash are speculators and those buying on the margins, i.e. they have little to no cash of their own and are heavily leveraged or can't absorb any hits on their portfolio. 

I wouldn't buy based on speculation (talk) of another school or some other possible development. 

There is a large difference between expected and wildly speculated.

@Emilia Marchetti others have mentioned the dangers of betting on appreciation (rhymes with speculation), but another thing to remember that as your rent increases annually, so do your expenses.
