We normally meet for at a brewery but due to restrictions with covid we have pivoted a bit. 

And the elderly are increasingly unlikely to make the move into assisted living facilities and nursing homes as long as pandemic restrictions are in force.- Mortgage forbearance government mandates have restricted the flow of homes to market.

We get a lot of remote workers, traveling nurses, business people who need a place on a temporary term.One thing to find out, though, is whether your condo's HOA has any restrictions on rental periods.

That is going to continue to put a restriction on inventories into the marketplace.

So far we have no restrictions with evictions since tenant hasn't given us notice that they can't pay rent due to covid caused issues, they haven't filed for any public assistance and we don't have any government financing.   

The large cities continue to restrict private property rights and our ability to run a fair business.

I recently heard a podcast episode on BiggerPockets () that talked about how there is frenzy with real estate buying due to low interest rates coupled by the fact that the mortgage forbearance is restricting supply to the market as potential sellers are holding on.

My recommendation would be to remove the geographical restriction so that you are open to all markets and can invest where it makes sense for your strategy. 

Covid restrictions have resulted in a small uptick in crime.
