I just can’t imagine that we come out of this without some major changes to our mentality. I would be interested to see how the US changed after the Spanish Flu (probably a racist term by today’s standards).

@Forrest Faulconer

Spoken like a true extrovert. What about us introverts? :)

 

I will have to check out that video.

Great recap of our society today! And Yup this thread has been interesting. It will be fun to comeback in a year and revisit it

I hope not. Only time will tell

@Lauren Davis I approach homeowner’s more gently. Not always but a lot of the time they are emotionally involved in the property. It is not uncommon for me to see a homeowner get really upset over something silly when in reality it is just the emotions of the situation. I recognize this and act accordingly. Investors are more transactional. They do act with their emotions but they are generally not emotionally involved in the property itself. They didn’t grow up in the house or something to that effect.

I have always considered Real Estate a personal business. The traditional Realtor who builds relationships and gets their clients that way. The investors who network at meetings and become friends. The schedule can often be more beers at the bar than meetings in the office. Is this how it needs to be?

The recent change in the world has taught everyone a few things and made most of us readjust our lives. I now go to Zoom meetings and rarely leave my house for business. Is this the future for Real Estate?

I see virtual wholesalers from all over the world doing deals in markets they will never step foot in. I see people buying rentals in markets that are on the other side of the country. The world has gotten smaller and opened a lot of doors but is it to the detriment of the personal side of the business?

I must confess I prefer it this way. My schedule is wide open now. No more time spent in my car driving from place to place just to feel at the end of the day that I did not get much done even though I was constantly on the run. I sit down in front of my computer with my two phones propped up and get down to business. I have a ton of work everyday and I am still super busy but at the end of the day I feel like I accomplished stuff. I spent my time working both in and on my business. I am growing every day and the future is bright. Has the lockdown helped me? Has it helped you?

The interest rates and loan qualifications will be nationwide. That is one thing to keep an eye on outside of your local market.

It will be interesting
