My questions for the bigger pockets community are: - Is now the best time to house hack considering the current economic environment due to the Pandemic? 

I know I need a lender, a realtor, staging and economical workers.

The properties I purchased during the time was also a about value vs analytics about timing about a crash.So my question to gurus who have deliberately timed economic cycles, can you share the leading economic indicators/ trends that guided you & and how is that experience guiding you now.

We have never been in an economic/pandemic situation like we are today, so to predict some of these exit cap rates I have seen on some of these deals is interesting to watch.However, many limited partners are depending on the operator to vet the deal and thoroughly understand the numbers.

@Quinton C.I’m located in Madison, WI - it seems that almost all do not include utilities unless dealing with old properties where they can’t economically be separated such as boiler heat in a 100+ year old building/house.

Don't get me wrong, was great city to invest in (I'm a huge fan of the economic diversity in the Metro), however, both Minneapolis and Saint Paul are starting to put in regulations on tenant screening that are concerning to me.

I've had no issue filling my vacant units and rentals are always in demand especially in an economic downturn. 

Whereas Tremont and Lakewood are popular with younger people who want access to bars, restaurants, etc., people in Parma are probably a little older and not as concerned with nightlife.  

And I expect that we will catch and appreciation bid as out of state money moves in here to take advantage of it as a viable investment as other investment opportunities dry up in an increasingly bleak economic future. 

It helps to streamline the contact process, which will save the syndicator a lot of time.Step 4: Keep Investors InformedThis is a good approach regardless of the economic climate, but it’s even more important during an economic crisis or a pandemic, as we’re experiencing now.
