And the vacations that were put on hold will finally happen, boosting hotels and theme parks.Despite the fact that the coronavirus has had an economic impact on the homes of millions of United States citizens, there are actually many reasons why we will not see an increase in the number of foreclosures as we did during the collapse of the home more than ten years ago.

Vacations, holidays, weddings, graduation parties, sunny days and warm weather affect the market.

I've made a few websites buying a theme from Studiopress (https://my.studiopress.com). 

It's a short drive, and normally the 2nd Weds of the month (I think).

Last quick tips: 1)ignore the list price ... make any offers based on your numbers, not theirs ... if they say no, then onto the next one. 2)I run both the buy-n-hold and flip numbers on every home, that is my plan A and plan B (or visa versa) ... plan A numbers need to get me a good return, plan B numbers need to be good enough (with margin) that I don't lose my behind if the SHTF with plan A ... easier said than done in today's market, but I don't (and haven't recently) pull the trigger unless ...I work some days in AV, so if it is mon-wed evening for meetups, count me in.

After reading a couple books and listing to some BiggerPockets podcast episodes, a common theme for getting started is understanding your market.

I think I can keep pushing my weekend rate upwards because by Wed/Thurs there are only 1-2 dozen places left for the upcoming weekend in the city limits (or just outside like mine), and most of what's left is either crap or overpriced. 

While yes, we have these, we can not share them with anyone and I am betting this will be a common theme.

Too bad there are so many scams built around this strategy, that's where I caution others.Joel, you have a great plan as well, it's smart to build your business around 2 or 3 main themes to address business cycles in RE.Build a business, not a job!

One of the meetup that Joe mentioned in Irvine is this Wed, and I will be there.
