I explained to her Dave’s take on debt related REI however I told her I would still be willing to do the class to maybe learn something, thoughts?

Maybe avoid that by taking turns picking tools like team captains in a high school gym class.

A bit of background I am based in San Francisco and have been investing in multifamily C class assets in Columbus, OH for the last three years.

They have a great wholesaling class for free and I think that can atleast get you started.

I've watched a few YouTube videos to brush up on my skills...maybe my post-license class will help with these concerns but I'd figured I'd start here first.

Are you buying in a class C or D neighborhood?

this is not a protected class, virus or no virus.

Don't undersell the property in case it is in a lower class area.You should get quotes from at least 3-5 management firms. 

Squatters are criminals and not a protected class and the virus has nothing to do with anything. 

There's the idea floating around that much of the reason REI and the stock market have done so well this round is because of the money that was pumped into the system during the GFC, and it's not because there was anything special about the fundamentals of any particular asset class.
