The hot topic seems to be when the recession is going to hit and this has been going for a few years now... 

@Michael Anderson I think you may be onto something about increased wages meaning more stability, but I think you may see the effects of that increase hit the D class areas with a more substantial effect than you see in the C class areas.

With this corona virus scare and potential quarantine it could be a HUGE hit to all real estate agents/investors/ small business owners/employees and everyone else!

That seems to be the segment that will be hit first and hardest.

If consumer confidence retreats and spending dwindles as a result, the economy does not have many other sources of growth to fall back on, which could precipitate a new recession as the factory sector remains in the doldrums after taking a hit during the trade conflict with China.

I'm friends with the owner - he's a great guy, and the hit rate and accuracy is around 90%.

And, the temporary GA eviction ban will eventually run its course and landlords will be once again be able to enforce rent payment by their tenants.Plus, given the scarcity of affordable rental houses there even before the COVID-19 Crisis, and the continued strong demand for housing in Atlanta, I anticipate rents to remain stable, if not increase, in the Region.Valuations, on the other hand, are likely going to take a hit.

If you own such properties, you could get hit very hard.

Which is where I've hit a snag.

As we approach the close of Q1 2020, I was thinking about my own personal investment goals for the year, and if I am going to hit my mark for Q1.
