@Katherine Sommer While I think on the national level (CA, NY, NJ, WA, OR, CT, NoVa) there are going to be some speed bumps in the road kicked off by a few global crises' (Great Britain's fuel shortage, China/Evergrande, inflation, end of forbearance).

Global Financial Capital is not a bank but they are BRRRR friendly. 

BP for 24x7 global networking and learning, and REIAs for local to the zip code networking with local experience. 

I would pay cash, let you have more leeway to get it cash flowing.Prefab could be just a container, although pricing was really high due to global demand.

Markets I'm considering are Wilmington, NC (where my parents live, but lacking major airport connectivity); Miami, FL (perfect global location, but not sure about long term stability); Philadelphia, PA (alternative NE city, well-connected, but too similar to NJ); or Northern NJ (not really a top choice, but if it makes sense...it makes sense)I'm thinking a 2BR, 1-2BA condo/townhouse under $300k is feasible in some of the locations I mentioned.

This is more of a global question.

It does give you a global view of your properties. 

“Since the Legislature passed House Bill 4213, thousands of people have been displaced by massive and devastating wildfires, and the global pandemic continues to make it difficult for many Oregonians, including Oregon’s veterans and many families with children, to pay rent, through no fault of their own.” 

all the sayings like "best time is now" or "best time was yesterday", are good for normal time, remember we are in a situation(pandemic) that happens once in 100 years also it's global not only 1 or two countries.
