If someone is in pre-foreclosure due to covid, that's going to take several months to quit or get off the pot, as they say.Stay patient.

However, we have already seen houses over the past three weeks with a realtor, who has been absolutely helpful and patient with us as we are looking through these properties.My question is, if we were to come across an auction that we think we can get at a good deal, would it be poor etiquette to bid on and potentially purchase the house if we have taken up our realtor's time?

There's a strong sentiment in the stock market and Real Estate markets now that they will ALWAYS recover, and many investors will hold through any downturn, seeing the recoveries that happened with the previous crashes.To those of you who were in the markets before, were there always this many investors waiting patiently for a crash, or is it a new phenomenon? 

I am new to this community and REI, so please be patient with my very beginner question :)I am just starting to learn about analyzing deals and am not sure how to estimate my financing details when doing so, mainly length of loan and interest rate.

I have been patiently saving and reading, and now it's about time to start investing. 

Regardless of when it recovers, YOU have to bear that burden until it does.Be patient, and be smart!

I will definitely be more patient and try to find off market properties.

I would like to do the same thing and was listening to this brain health webinar where a doctor (Evan Brand) who lives on a farm told of a patient of his who lived on a farm growing up and as a child would play outside and airplanes would fly overhead dropping glyphosate, presumably on whatever they wanted to kill and it messed up her microbiome.
