Well there has already been a significant shedding of thousands of jobs in the energy sector here in Houston.

And you can change sectors and geographies to accommodate your investing strategy.

Consider the type of investor you strive to be and the type of properties that interest you, then seek out those who are active in those sectors.

I know Pekin has been giving pretty competitive rates recently and Westfield also has been competitive in the self storage sector

I can fix the upper unit at my leisure. 

I may be a little off base here but you have a small second of 10 to 20k that is in default. the property is in the mid west and underwater. you simply walk from it.. not worth the cost of foreclosing.. so you sell the NPn 2nd for 5 or 10 cents on the dollar and let the private sector work it them out.

I didn't search out hard money lenders for these upcoming transactions) I'm interested in buy and holds in the multifamily sector, but will not limit myself to that especially if there are great opportunities in other avenues.

Don't act in haste and repent in leisure.

Prior to Covid the office and retail sector were already undergoing transformation.

And it won't be easy, as some service sector jobs WILL comeback... many won't.
