@Stella Xu I feel like this trend has been happening for over a decade and is simply accelerating because of COVID post-quarantine syndrome (“Honey, we need to move”) and Work From Home.

Networking is hard in quarantine, but not impossible.

I’ve done TONS of reading during this quarantine and have gone 2/3 through the CCIM courses to work towards my designation.

There are worldwide travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines.

For instance, a PM company I use got quarantined for 14 days due to half their office catching Covid.

University set aside 140 rooms for quarantines and made the tri’s and quad’s into two to a room.  

Please note that the account into which the funds are deposited must be the same type of account from which the funds were first withdrawn (e.g. withdrawal of pre-tax funds from a 401k could be deposited in a pre-tax IRA but not a Roth IRA - "like to like").Loans:Payments on a 401k loan taken under the CARES Act must be paid back starting in 2021 over a 5 year term.Here are the details regarding the loans:NEW LOANS:The CARES Act which was enacted to provide relief to individuals impacted by COVID-19 allows for increased 401k loans and more flexibility for repayment of these loans.Specifically, you must be an individual who meets one of the following conditions to demonstrate that you have been impacted by the crisis (and it will be your responsibility to retain documents in your files that demonstrates that you are a qualified individual):Individual who is diagnosed with COVID-19, with a CDC-approved test;Individual whose spouse or dependent is diagnosed with COVID-19, with a CDC-approved test; ORIndividual who experiences adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, furloughed, laid off, having work hours reduced, being unable to work due to lack of child care due to COVID-19, closing or reducing hours of a business owned or operated by the individual due to COVID-19; or other factors as determined by the Treasury Secretary.On or before September 23, 2020, such individuals take a 401k participant loan subject to the following terms:Maximum Amount of the Loan: 100% of their 401k balance not to exceed $100,000.

And I dont live near any family and my husband was deployed so I couldnt quarantine if I did get exposed from my 18 month old.

So, I am steadily learning Real Estate day by day during this quarantine.

The market is still holding up strong and looking promising as we try and pull out of this prolonged quarantine.
