While Covid-19 is still active, we can make use of our time in learning here in BiggerPockets during home quarantine! 

I have found myself crunching numbers on random properties throughout the quarantine and thinking how I can make things work including how to approach the folks that own properties.

While we are on quarantine, let us take advantage of this time to learn Real Estate education by browsing, reading, listening and building your network.

Hi, I'm a newbie aspiring foreign investor looking for some courses or guides I could study and take advantage of my quarantine time :)Any educational sources, books, blogs, courses, and etc you can recommend for a rookie and specifically a foreign investor would be greatly appreciated. 

I read Turner's book in 2 days (Quarantines  good for something) and now im a wannabe rental investor, but would like to start taking action ASAP.

Family in China have told me the demand is down for any kind of business right now post-quarantine, however real estate has people lining down the block for open houses 

Even though the quarantine isn't fully lifted, most industries are currently struggling there due to lack of demand, except when it comes to real estate.https://www.mansionglobal.com/...

The next phase in our plan consists of connecting with potential attorneys, accountants, brokers, and property managers, so when we fly out to these markets after the COVID-19 Quarantine ends we will be able to have meetings lined up and properties to visit. 

There's very little inventory where I am (Charlotte NC), and some pent up demand from the quarantine so prices and demand are still high... but I can't help but worry that the unemployment numbers here (as well as everywhere in the country) will impact real estate over the next 6-12 months as foreclosures skyrocket.
