@Dominic Richardson, in my experience, crossing every digital and virtual bridge you can will serve you well.  

I agree with much of what you said, but a recession (using the standard definition of 2 quarters of falling GDP) is virtually inevitable seeing that the first quarter had negative GDP (-5%) and we are more that 2/3 of the way through the 2nd quarter with a large negative GDP projected. 

Last question: are there still newbie REI meetups going on or are they virtual now?

Ask her to virtually show you the house.

That can bring you great cash flow while living for free, but it also means virtually zero privacy.

With all the retail going online and everything is becoming more virtual, I believe personal services such as massage which cannot be done online would stay strong in the changing economy. 

Some tenants are still not okay having strangers coming in (which is understandable IMO) so we’ve been using a few different methods: virtual showings (someone like your agent, the current owner, their PM, the listing agent or even the tenant FaceTimes you/Zooms you while they’re at the property), virtual 3D tours using a matterport camera, tenant takes a bunch of photos themselves, etc.

@ Lynn M you are very savvy and studied in the art of flood.And you are correct you sometimes can transfer a FEMA policy to the new owner (if the lender allows). 

I am in search of someone in the area who is already crushing it using the BRRRR and will be attending the virtual RIREIG meeting tonight to learn and network.
