@Crystal Smith Could you explain more about putting the property under contract while waiting for "shelter in place" to be lifted?

First thing I would make sure they are crystal clear on is that the bugs are as a result of them, their dogs, or someone who visits them at the property.

Of course none of us gave a crystal ball

What does this mean, (looking into my crystal ball, LOL) This should me lower interest rates for those that can close the loan with the tighter underwriting guidelines.

@Crystal Smith Thanks Crystal!

So while I have that on my mind, I am not too focused on it as I do not have a crystal ball.

•Massive unemployment = selling and foreclosure (eventually, not initially)•Increased supply/declining demand = lower prices/buyers' market•Those with capital reserves will buy at significant discounts for cash•Savvy investors without capital will buy on great terms •Retail priced value add/flip properties will have to sell at smaller margins•The paper market and buy and hold investors will be on hold until the general public can afford to make payments•Capital might be sitting on the sideline for a whileWhat does your crystal ball say I'm missing here?
