Things started off well in Feb/March but once April hit, student applications fell off a cliff. 

I'm happy to say that we closed on our first property, a 1bed/1bath STR in Big Bear, CA on March 25th, and will be closing on our second property, a 2bed/1bath STR in Joshua Tree, CA on May 20th!

It would be better to wait until February or March if you can't motivate them to be out in September.

The opportunity was March 2020 if you had been waiting.

I wasn't able to close my first deal until the end of March, while still working full time!

Since mid March 2020 many Companies in service sectors from IT Finance Insurance to others have over 70% of their workforce Working From Home; seems like it will continue till end of 2021.All depending on vaccinations and sars-2 virus mutations; 2022 might be same or beginning of things starting to come to pre covid-19 era normalcy but even then much of early 2022 may be same case WFH for many.

Since the beginning of March, I have helped clients close on 8 rental properties that were able to cash flow from day 1, even with today's pricing and competition. 

When do we start marching at Capitol hill to be heard?

Obviously, if I started my business In March 2021, then I put a label on the folder saying Bank of America -  MARCH 2021                 Month 1 This way, if we are dealing with another back account we know what bank this folder pertains to.Inside the folder for Month 1 is:1) Bank Statement2) We enter every record on the bank statement into our database that I created.

However, when it happened last march/april - in the span of about 3 weeks I lost over 37k worth of bookings most of them for april/may.
