Hello,      i've been playing around at getting into real estate investing for a few years now. and done thinking about it. i'm going to take the plunge!

The recent plunge in oil prices have started some major ripples to be sure.

Too many people are out of work and consumer spending (minus toilet paper) has plunged.

will commercial real estate plunge because everyone knows how to work from home now?

While I enjoy fixing and building things, more importantly I consider this a way to build a network of like minded investors and provide them with value so in the future I can focus more on investing and less on swinging a hammer and plunging a toilet. 

I will keep the money on the sideline and if I find a multi-unit property the cash is available and if we have a stock market plunge my online trading account is loaded and ready.I am not greedy.

No government has ever plunged itself into a depression and purposely destroyed its entire economy and I do not think ours will be the first.

I spoke to a few property management firms and said that the rental market is “hot” and can lease my home in 30 days (my home is 15 yrs old, also in good neighborhood with great schools 10/10).Question:  Would it make sense to take the plunge in this volatile market and buy a pre-owned home and rent our existing home? 

Too, consider that if the stock market starts plunging again, that money will flee...somewhere. 

But I finally took the plunge.
