As well there is a major shift in progress for what was the booming metropolitan housing norm, not to say this is collapsing but it is shifting as virtual working has brought a new X factor to the game and it is changing things, we are just in the adoption phase of things much like dialup days of internet, in a short couple years we will look back and see it all as obvious what was coming in change. 

The other thing you can do is attend as many meetups as you can, either in person or virtually.

You should talk to your inspector for any question you might have, some of them can do a virtual walk through if you are far or send a video via youtube.

let me add some perspective on distressed real estate assets a space I have worked in virtually my entire 45 years in the industry.

Several liberal arts colleges have already filed for bankruptcy or announced that they will be closing their doors.

We offer virtual tours as well and some scammers have actually been successful in taking "security deposits" from people too.

Podcasts, books, articles, virtual and in person meetups, networking.

Rising costs virtually across the board resulted in a more substantial 0.6% increase.

It's located within walking distance of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and the University of Baltimore.

COVID has slowed in-person MeetUps down, but they are still holding virtual sessions.Also I 100% agree with @Jared Maches in that you should start saving your money where you can.
