Hey Bigger Pockets family,I am new to the forum scene, been listening in on podcasts for quite awhile and have wanted to get my portfolio going for a good time, but I'm currently a full time student, unemployed, and no massive savings for a down payment.

So, if you're an investor, it might be a great time to buy, sadly, as others are negatively impacted by this massive disruption.At the same time, the market for rentals in these neighborhoods are likely impacted in the same manner as homeowners -- if homeowners lose their job, so do renters.

Loans are taking forever to process now (massive surge in demand, staffing is down).

Given that my CA properties are massively appreciated and my OH properties meaningfully appreciated and all of them together generate only modest taxable income it makes it an easy call for me to maintain the simple structure that I have.

There is massive investment ($15 BN in 2019) and interest in the "proptech" space.

Out of town private equity and MASSIVE AMOUNTS of oversupply of apartments being built from incentives (opportunity zones, etc)........ instead of logical supply and demand reasons to build.

To learn rehab I did a massive rehab then read J Scott’s book on flipping houses and got house flipping spreadsheet.

Unless it is an expensive car or a massive piece of ceiling, $4800 sounds very expensive.

Your ROE goes up massively when you pull the equity and your total ROI, rather than % ROI, may go up.

The house needed a lot of work that at first just looked like small jobs but quickly added up to be a massive project and at the time we had other larger projects underway and this house took 4.5 months to finish.
