I’ve been loosing sleep trying to decide whether or not this is a good time to try and go for my first investment or maybe this is a sign to hold off and see how everything plays out.Looking for advice I’m young in the game and I’m just trying to hear as much feedback as possible from different minds.Thank you in advance

It is a gamble.

I wish we could play the LTR or month to month card but until the POA green-lights new renters coming into the community its not an option, since there is 24/7 security. 

But, as Grant Cardone says, "If the cranes are at play, stay away!".

I think the things that played well into it for him were that he used an enrolled agent, they contacted the IRS and he showed good faith and made his payments on time.

But there are many issues at hand in CRE apart from the underlying fundamentals of real estate that come into play when making investment decisions like cost of capital (which varies by party), investor motivations (arbitrage, tax, etc) amongst other items. 

If I was buying right now I would be playing off sellers fears and looking for great deals, not good deals.

There are plenty of families in tight situations, offering flexible lease/closing terms would play to your advantage.  

Real estate is not a get rich quick scheme, play the long game and you will win.

Should there be any fear if this is a long term play?
