With the upcoming election it's doubtful there will be a lot of them as to keep the mass voters various parties will likely want protections against foreclosing on homeowners.Hard to comment further without knowing specifically what you are trying to do.   

That being said, I can't imagine things feeling like early pre covid 2020 again until well after the election and even then nobody knows what kind of market shocks waves the election results could cause. 

I have been met with a few objections, and would like to know what your thoughts are on each (and maybe some counter-arguments that I can use):-It's a seller's market / houses are overvalued and prices will drop soon-There's too much uncertainty in the economy with COVID-19-It will be hard to get people to rent during a pandemic-The election in November may have an impact on the economy, housing market, etc.Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I had no idea what this meant until yesterday.

By default a single member LLC will be taxed as a disregarded entity, a multi-member LLC as a partnership, and if you elect to any of them can be taxed as C or S corp.Unless you decide using a C or S corp that may have some tax advantages depending on your specific situation, a disregarded or partnership taxation will not create any tax saving.

The money printing machine will not stop and less being election year.

Last but not least, we have the presidential elections coming up in 4 months and that will only add to the uncertainty.

This meant that you would have less money to invest "down the road" when you decided to do REI.

Things will be bad enough they will backstop it one again and kick the can down the road until after the election.

I meant to say “‘Concerned’ about the contractor traffic”
