With that said, I wish I had put a little more emphasis on education because I would have made several decisions differently.

One problem I do know of that is becoming a cancer is people not wanting to go back to work due to them receiving unemployment; and with the schools shut down, kids are home all day and need a care taker, so most parents are choosing to not accept new work, which is illegal actually, and if reported they could lose their unemployment.

Not being evicted bc of losing job as  a result of covid, is different than refusing to comply with new month to month lease parameters 

but I did get a tenant for my current vacant unit losing only a 1/2 month, so I should count myself lucky. 

If you delead, and maintain the standard, you will be in the clear.Here's the law (emphasis added by me):460.100: Duty of Owner(s) of Residential Premises (B) Whenever any residential premises containing dangerous levels of lead in paint, plaster or other accessible structural material undergoes a change of ownership and as a result a child younger than six years old will become or will continue to be a resident therein, the new owner shall have 90 days after becoming the owner to obtain a Letter of Full Compliance or a Letter of Interim Control, except that if a child younger than six years old who is lead poisoned resides therein, the owner shall not be eligible for interim control, unless the Director grants a waiver pursuant to 105 CMR 460.100(A)(3).

Compete with I-buyers with emphasis on being local.If you have a big budget you can do radio, TV and billboards.

Seeing as how it's easy to lose your shirt in real estate I'm really hoping to go to a REIA to network and pick brains of experienced investors.Are people still doing REIA due to COVID?

.#2 - Don't loan money to family/friends unless you're willing to lose both. 

I would tell her that, as long as she isn't short on rent or caused any major/medium damage since I bought the house and removed all of her belongings (emphasis on removing all of her belongings), I will return her $300 SD within a couple days of her move out.I would be thrilled to give a hoarder 300 bucks to get all their stuff out of a property. 

When COVID recedes, when the equity market loses the mania and prices dive down (possibly dramatically) to reflect future earnings potential, and when people start getting laid off or told that their office is going fully virtual and they can work from anywhere in the country, I have to assume that that is when we are going to start seeing the dramatic effects of the gargantuan pan-American urban/suburban-area real estate bubble burst.
