Exactly this.Money is unlikely to ever be cheaper and that "insane seller's market" you mentioned isn't necessarily going away anytime soon. 

@Gregory Cudzilo market in Virginia Beach right now is tough with most market properties selling in days above list, best bet would be to have that conversation with your agent up front so they know what they are in for and can better advise you on the current market in the Hampton roads region

If we build OUR businesses on THEIR rug... they can pull that rug any time they want and we're hosed.

Note: It is too late to take a loan under the CARES Act.Distributions:If so, you can take a penalty-free distribution (as well as waive the 20% withholding requirement) from your 401k (assuming that the employer allows it) anytime between 1/1/2020 and 12/31/2020.

That’s the best bet.

SD market is tough for cash flow, at least when you initially purchase the home.Your best bet is a live in flip / house hack, meaning you buy a house in need of some love in a nice neighborhood at a discount, fix it up and then house hack.  

Your best bet is to buy a multifamily, live in one unit for a year, and rent out the other units. 

If you plan on using your VA loan (which I highly recommend for a house-hack) you have a few options: Your best bet would be getting a full time job lined up immediately after your EAS.

I don't know the average time on market there, but would bet it's in the 6-12 month range.
