Has anyone since Covid found a way to find Baltimore‘s evection notices also known as pink slips?

I wonder how much of the increase is due to Covid (it's 1.5 hours from the DC area) and what I can expect going forward.   

He is a web developer but was laid off due to COVID-related cuts and has found it very difficult to find full-time work again.

I was going to start investing this year and then got laid off due to COVID, so I don't have the income to qualify for a loan even though I've got a down payment saved up.

You may know all of this, but for showings we arrive 90 min prior and clean the place top to bottom--cobwebs, spray bleach (helps during COVID), put in citrus scented plug-ins, open every blind, turn on every light and my wife and I are both there and smiling, conveying a family/homey vibe, which is our branding. 

If you are constrained to buying, for some reason, in San Francisco, Seattle, NYC, and downtown Chicago then you'll be subject to the ebbs and flows of a cyclical real estate market, but if you own property in any of the many linear or hybrid markets across the US then you'll not be exposed to that same dynamic.Real estate investing is derived from the economy as a whole, thriving or lulling largely in step with the total real economy, while perhaps the primary thing COVID has shown us is this:  the equities market isn't. 

Purchased Lot in March, just before COVID.

The current owner is going through the legal process of evicting all tenants for non payment of rent (2 units due to COVID hardships and the other just purely squatting (has not paid rent prior to COVID).

@Doreen M ODonovanI just designed a 3,000sqft STR for a client in Lake Tahoe (in a similar 3 week turnaround to be listed by Thanksgiving), I estimated $50k for furnishings and came in at $30k + $8k design,sourcing and installation fee (with Covid delayed required a lot of running to find available pieces).It’s a pretty good estimate of what you’ll look to spend to furnish an STR of that size nicely.

TLDR: I went from aggressively investing constantly and deploying capital, to being in this weird COVID "wait and see" sellers market.
