As an investor do you think the current COVID-19 crisis & its aftermath will create an unprecedented opportunity to expand your real estate portfolio?

There are only few homes in the small community that come to the market for sale.We’ve been fighting hard to resist the temptation to go with the home, but also avoid any risks as possible given the current crisis we are all in.Requesting all experienced investors and home owners to provide some thoughts and advise here!!

Jan/Feb/March sales were up about 8-10% over 2019.I think inventory in many price ranges is still tight.So now maybe instead of 10 offers you get 2 or 3.I just saw an article about 600 California companies wanting to move to Texas.Also I don't think Amazon HDQ 2 has worked out like they thought and back looking at Dallas for big office.Also just this week saw info about Goldman Sachs making basically 3rd HDQ in Dallas with nearly all divisions represented and their CEO saying basically that not all financial talent is in NYC and more companies need to understand that.This crisis will pass. 

Both of these will drive the prices down over time.Once we get into a 5-6 months supply of inventory from our current, pre-crisis levels - then the type of conversations listing agents have with sellers would have to change.

your 88k can yield a better rate of rental return there, i would only consider vegas if you're also eyeing on appreciation as well - but that may be vanished now, due to the crisis for the foreseeable future 💁‍♂️Don't get me wrong, im still buying here (looking at a 100k condo tomorrow morning actually), but mostly for a flip - not surr this would also work ad a hold. 

I strongly suspect the market will stabilize and continue to grow once the crisis has passed in the coming months. 

Falling only 1.9% in housing crisis. 

With the current coronavirus lockdown crisis, I'm curious to hear who (landlord and/or tenant) is using this strategy and how you are handling the sudden shift. 1) Arbitragers, are you sub-letting to long-term tenants?

“During this crisis, these protections will allow residents to stay safe at home, while prohibiting landlords from charging late fees or interest for nonpayment and provide a buffer for the next couple of months,” Governor Lamont said.

Some assistance includes, for example, waiving fees on late or missed credit card or loan payments, extending payment due dates, and providing small business loans to small business members during this crisis.
