Yes, it’s still a seller’s market.Depending on who you ask, it’s either a return to normal and everything is going to be great again, or the last gasp at the top of a market cycle before the unemployment/stimulus runs out.Nearly everyone agrees that taxes are going to have to go up to pay for all of the government rescue programs.What kind of taxes and how it affects RE remains to be seen, but it’s not usually good - particularly if they target 1031 exchanges, alter the RE depreciation schedules, eliminate the 25K loss that can be taken against ordinary income, etc.Similarly, we won’t know the effects of the mortgage forbearance programs, and eviction suspensions in some states, until later this year.But for right now, yes, things still look pretty good out there (if you’re selling, anyway).

Emails, text messages, family distractions, phone calls, etc... anything that is NOT an immediate emergency and captures your attention during times you need to remain FOCUSED would be considered a distraction.I highly recommend Stephen Covey's "The 7 Habit of highly effective people".

@ Cassi JustizThank you for this information; it was really helpful.The hospital does have a nurse residency program, but it also sounds like that doesn't effect when the nurses will need to find a rental because "Residency program does not make the newly graduated nurse wait for program specific dates."

You can only borrow up to 50k from your 401k so I don't see your 401k as being an effective strategy for buying properties, but it was helpful for repairs.
