I am skeptical by nature and prefer to do my own research/due diligence.

Naturally, the media has been discussing a recession which has made me hesitant to move forwards.

I'm a realtor so I'm naturally around real estate constantly, but I haven't yet pulled that trigger on my first investment property. 

I'm naturally very optimistic and the fact that this recession was forced by a virus and not a financial or economic crisis leads me to be think it will be sooner than later.
