Hello biggerpockets network.I'm a Canadian citizen working as an airline pilot in Hong Kong.

Think cruise companies and airlines.

One bright spot in all this is people will still take their vacation in a house when this is over vs travel abroad, cruises, hotels and airlines so that should give drivable destinations a boost this year assuming we get back by end of May.

just to get extra benefits like airline miles or cashback.

I have bought and sold United Airlines and might buy it again.I have some Marothon Oil I got cheap.Sitting on some cash waiting for other opportunities. 

What would need to happen (much like the airlines did in the 2000's), they consolidate to conserve resources.

All of the major airlines that flew out of there are no longer there.

The airline industry remains mired in a deep slump, though.

I work as an airline pilot for a living, and in non COVID times, I do well financially, but right now, due to cutbacks, I'm breaking even at the end of the month. 

I’m interested in buy and hold, specifically in Central FL as well as the Tampa area and the Space Coast.I have absolutely NO experience in Real Estate but I’ve been starting to read up, listen to the podcasts, and conduct general research to not only learn the lingo, terms, and strategies, but also to really define my goals and come up with a general big picture plan.I’m currently a Military Pilot (USAF) that was looking at potentially switching to the airlines (full time) and have a go at acquiring rental properties, or stay in the service and figure out this buy and hold plan on the side.
