It was listed at $479k and the agent kept telling me the price was firm and being virtually unresponsive for a week. 

I am on site virtually every day this month overseeing the renovation of the house next-door and would like to maintain a firm but cordial relationship. 

I see that the Mayor is having a virtual townhall this week about city-owned property this Thursday (Auction is the 27th).

Should i try virtual wholesaling instead?

We are a virtual brokerage without brick and mortar and that works great for me. happy to answer any questions! 

They already have virtual tours in place and cool perks like Amazon and dry cleaning lockers.

Are there virtual meet-ups etc.?

Those sort of deals virtually don’t exist or are hard to come by because investors who have properties near the college know exactly what their properties are worth and they aren’t going to sell for below market price.

Also we see more interest in longer term stays with people having more flexibility with working remotely and children virtual schooling.

I’d also attend some of the virtual meet ups that are happening, as you start building your resources.
