Buying a Flip to Sell in April, 21'!!! Good Idea or Bad Idea?

I'm looking to purchase my first flip property in the coming weeks. By the time it's rehabbed and ready to go on market, it'll be about April of 2021. I know each market is different however, given the effects of COVID, what do you think the general overall market will look like in 6 months? Do the behind the scenes foreclosures that have yet to take effect scare you? Should I expect a significantly lower sale price than the current comps or are todays comps reliable? Curious what you all think the next 6 months looks like for sellers.

@Andrew Rosenbaum everybody on this site (including me) is just guessing.

I can tell you it could be a bad idea if you don't have multiple exit strategies. 

What will you do if you can't sell at your expected ARV? Would it cash flow as a rental? Could you move into it? Could you AirBnB it?

If the answer is yes to some or most of those, I say go for it.
