I rent right now a townhouse (2 teen kids) which is again we all know the rent is insane.A few avenues I am looking into is house hacking to start (almost the only way to do it if you are on Long Island and even then it can be tough), remote investing (after I make solid connections), and entertaining other options like the following:I notice as I search more and more locally, there are lots of multi-family fixer-uppers in C areas half the price of the surrounding properties that could provide decent income (if rent is paid and not vacant).For example, property is 150K - all homes around it are 300K. 

I have a few wholesalers that also occasionally send me deals but it's a tough market to be a wholesaler in for the most part and it's hard to find good wholesalers operating in this market IME.    

Real estate agents are considered essential workers and are taking per-cautions to show/list homes. 

It is very important to build reserves and put that money to use- it is one of the motivators for me to stay in this game on tough days.Good Luck

@David Lewis Yeah this is a tough one that a lot of people run in to on this strategy.

This is going to be tough as you want to make sure the client isn't just wasting your time.

Ie, times are tough for many, but that doesn't mean all obligations get canceled.

You may find a good deal, but will have a really tough time with financing.

It's remarkably tough to process this info intelligently. 

Figured there had to be more folks like that in the world and made it my business to find them.Class C is always "in demand" whereas higher end properties (Class A) can see less demand when times are tough.
