We also send out "how are you holding up during the quarantine?"

Therefore, as quarantine continues, I would like to take this down-time as an opportunity to network with more experienced investors and learn from you guys.

Many people are working from home, so they are not spending 1+ hours commuting.
How can a new Real Estate Investor make use of this 1 hour? 

Once quarantines blow over, you should go on Meetup and find some groups that meet in your area.

Looking to get an idea of how many rental applications people are receiving now vs during normal times. I listed a new unit for rent in the Bronzeville area last month and applications have been really slow. Wondering...

Withthe Corona Virus becoming a household name quicker than Usain Bolt running the100M it has people quarantined all over world asking questions.

@Evan Bonnell the law, as relayed to me by my solo 401k provider (@Dmitriy Fomichenko) in a newsletter this morning includes the following hardship provision:Has experienced adverse financial consequences as a result of being (a) quarantined, (b) furloughed, (c) laid off, (d) who has reduced work hours that is due to SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, (e) who is unable to work due to lack of child care due to SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, (f) closed or reduced hours of the business the participant owns or operates due to SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, or (g) any other factors as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury.Your lack of child care should qualify as a hardship.If you can weather the tax hit, and you are concerned about income/tax burdens in retirement, maybe consider doing an in-service conversion of $100k to the Roth portion of your 401k (if your plan has it, and if it permits you to convert). 

Granted they are relatively liberal, including being quarantined, being furloughed, being unable to work due to lack of child care, owning a business that is closed or under reduced hours and frankly any other reason the IRS decides it is ok.

This is easier than ever now that the whole world is in quarantine.

Have a great quarantine weekend!
