I am going to forge ahead even though I am scared to death, even more anxiety about the economy (more if renters are going to be able to pay rent once I get a multi-family property)....but, it isn't going to get much cheaper to invest.  

I tend to think I should go ahead and purchase the property but almost everyone I talk to (Mostly Not Investors) say that they would wait to purchase because prices will drop.

I do have one but really do not know if its sufficient  Thanks ahead of time!

If so, go ahead and waive inspection contingency.

We've got months of this crap ahead of us and when it's over, people are going to be thinking very differently about all sorts of things.

So it’s definitely worth it to see what you’re buying ahead of time so you know what you’re dealing with.

The median sales price in the Philadelphia Metro Area gained for the nineteenth straight month, with attached home pricing (up by an average of +7.2%) outpacing detached homes (up +5.3%) over that time.Philadelphia County celebrated its 51st consecutive month of year-over-year median close price gains, dating back to December 2015.The number of closings in the Philadelphia Metro (4,445) hit a new February high.Activity in the Philadelphia Metro continues to flourish, as new pending home sales saw a best ever for the month of February.

I guess if it goes straight from Active to Pending in MLS then you can assume there was no option, but that's not 100% true.You just have to determine a way to make your offers stronger....more earnest, more option, faster option, higher price, offer to pay title, eliminate the home warranty and there's a whole host of other things you can do to make your offers look better. 

So far we see about 25% of our resident base at the most risk of income interruption, which could be a hit to our income but hopefully not devastating, especially if we can stay ahead of it.We are also initiating refinancing some assets to take advantage of the attractive interest rates!  

So straight to the question!
