There's so many reasons to not do them, and virtually no good reasons to do them. 

What if you tried the hidden third option that gives you the best ROI and enables you to keep the house?

I would like to meet more people in person but the next couple months will probably have to be virtual.

Just read an article about rents decreasing in college towns/rentals because of a lot of virtual classes = less demand for housing.We've managed undergrad rentals before and will not handle them again.  

Plenty of virtual ones if that’s your cup of tea also.

The timing of depreciation is a strategy used by virtually every corporation on the planet and we believe regular investors should be able to use this technique as well.

Virtual meet-ups are the norm, try DelREIA. 

I’m currently under contract to purchase my second rental in a major university college town that has basically gone completely virtual for fall semester.

Books, forums, additional websites, virtual meetups?

Make sure you attend meet ups (in person or virtual) and just listen.
