Hey @Brandon Becker - There were some in person meet ups going pre-COVID but most have slowed down due to the pandemic.

I buy for cash flow and thanks to work from home opportunities our area has grown significantly in the past 4-5 years, especially during the pandemic.

And i agree with you in terms of compensating landlords amidst this pandemic.

Hi BP members,I have inherited a month-to-month tenant from a property that I close on last year prior to the pandemic. 

Phil, I suspect that the most successful local real estate investors who are investing here (and with less leverage) are doing live-in flips or house-hacking with roommates/friends.The rest of the island's most successful local real estate investors are loading up on financing risk or investing on the Mainland.We've had our pandemic-driven surge in Oahu real estate values, which might linger on for another year.  

Sacramento region experience massive appreciation due to Bay Area buyers packing up and moving 1-1.5hr north because of the pandemic and being able to WFH.

We live in pretty unique economical times, and of course, we just had a global lockdown due to the pandemic!

Even houses he's bought during the pandemic boom are on track to be paid off in ~4 years.On the other side of the coin, these are Section 8 rentals in "sketchy" parts of West Dayton that aren't the safest and the tenants can be a pain to deal with.

How are Montgomery investments doing during corona virus? 

However I likely need to return to the office once the pandemic stabilizes, but in terms of super long horizon I'm excited to see how I can make working remotely work!
