Currently, I'm in a healthy financial position, and I have 6 rentals that are all cash flowing, appreciating and under control.

That’ll give you a far more intimate picture of what is going on with them and how financially healthy they are.

The top tier ones especially with healthy endowments will indeed be fine but middle or lower tier private schools that don't offer value for money are in trouble.

Ideally I'd like to not worry about crime and be in a market that is growing and economically healthy and sound so that 5-10 years from now I'd have a good amount of equity in the investments I made to buy more deals. 

You need to have contingency plans and extra capital for when things go wrong.All too often, new investors with no money are the ones who want to leverage to a high degree when, in actuality, it's generally something you should only do if you have a healthy amount of liquid capital.  

These are the sellers OFF market that may accept a healthy discount, but these houses come with issues that may be cheap to fix or may be very expensive to fix.

I agree in principle as well; there just needs to be a healthy dose of common sense in the process.

This is in Seattle, which has had a major outbreak.I had asked if they were tested, and if not, indicated they/I would need to have the place sanitized before I have anyone else go into the place.They wrote back saying their health is none of my business, that they have cleaned the house, and even though they weren't tested, they don't have coronavirus. 

I am running a business , I am not out there to make wages ,I am out there to make a healthy profit .

I have a healthy amount of capital saved to begin investing, and will be using this next year to keep building my funds and continue my research and learning process.So my question is this:If you could start over (or are already using this approach), would you choose a real estate related profession to give you an edge with your investing?
