The buck has to stop somewhere and no one wants to see innocent people evicted however at this point I have to question their innocents if they have still not found any work or made any attempt to pay for this extended period of time.  

When I sat down and did the numbers I quickly saw 3 things: 1) I would need to build a huge portfolio which would take a lot of years 2) To get the cash flow I wanted I would need to attempt to do as much of the property management as possible a.k.a. job #2  3) I may have to invest out of state which would mean turn-keys or property management from a distance.

HOWEVER as a somewhat seasoned investor (15+ years) I think ‘all things being equal’ with the close of this year’s tax season we will see increased inventory and here’s why: It is my opinion that most non-investor buyers which are ‘wiser’ are currently buying NOW because yes interest rates are low but mostly because in 2020 they likely saw a decrease their income and are attempting to purchase a home now before they file their taxes for 2020 which would show that decrease and which would likely affect their chances of getting financing and finding a lender altogether.
