Stick With Properties—For Now
Cautioning against whole loans almost goes against the very
nature of this blog, which promotes all profitable methods of real estate
investment. Whole loan trading and valuation is the very reason why I started
this blog and whole loan investing can be a great way to find hidden value real
estate. That said, the following are various reasons why whole loan investment
is not the best strategy in the current market:

Foreclosures and the Moratorium
An increase in residential foreclosures and evictions is certainly bad news for affected homeowners and tenants, who will have to find new living arrangements, undergo costly moves in short timeframes, uproot their lifestyles and, in some instances, face long term financial effects. Increasing foreclosures will also serve as a market correction in the real estate market, which is currently driven by inventory scarcity. Amidst the market change and its social implications, many real estate investors can be left wondering which strategy to employ. The answer is simple—any or all of them.

Calculating the Cost of Delay
Let us quickly discuss, on this last day of May, the value
of Delay. Late payments, be they intentional or not, are costly, no matter how
late they are. Time has a calculable value and delayed payments provide a
monetary benefit to the payee and punish the lender or vendor. This value is
easily observed in the world of retail, where giants like Wal-Mart, not only connect
the speed with which they pay their vendors to the success of the products in
their stores, but also fine retailers for late shipments. In retail, late
shipments equate to lost sales. In real estate, late payments lead to increased opportunity
costs and decreased value of money.

Why Most People Don't Get Rich In Real Estate
This may seem harsh, but please
let me qualify my statement by saying that it is not easy to maintain consistent
motivation. Having sufficient motivation to push through real estate losses,
market downturns, bankruptcies or even years of unfruitful prospecting takes inner
strength. During down times and after particularly difficult lessons in real
estate, it can often feel like the experience was a sign to quit or move in a
different direction. It takes true motivation, self-confidence and some self-delusion
to look at a negative real estate experience, learn from the experience and continue
on. This motivation is intrinsic and it only comes from a goal-driven approach
to make it in a real estate. Quitting can never be an option. To that end, I want to share the following link to
“The Strangest Secret” by Earl Nightingale, in the hopes that it is helpful to
someone.

Adverse Possession: Why It Makes More Sense Than You May Think

Adverse possession is the legal ability to take over the land of another person by openly and notoriously acting like you are the owner over a number of years. The ways that a person in adverse possession can demonstrate open and notorious occupation of land differ from locale to locale. Some examples of open and notorious possession have been constructing a fence, maintaining the lawn, receiving mail and, the most open and notorious of all, paying property taxes.

Lesson From the Pandemic For Residential Landlords
Considered rationally, the need for all of the social safety nets put in place for renters is obvious. The only way to truly survive a global disaster is to band together and implement a series of solutions. Radical measures had to be taken to mitigate the global pandemic. “We’re all in this together,” is not just a motto, it’s a reality. As a society, we are tasked with taking care of our most vulnerable populations, because the repercussions of not doing so are far more expensive than the costs of their protection. In this instance in particular, increased homelessness and/or a wave of relocations due to a rise in home displacement would only serve to exacerbate infection rates around the nation. That said, here are some clear lessons that residential landlords can learn in the wake of this global event.
