3 Ways to be Effective during COVID-19

Well, many of us, are in quarantined during this cautious time. Luckily for some, they can work remotely, others not so much. I hope for the best for all of you and your family during this time.

While we are in quarantined, that shouldn’t mean we should freeze up, and put the whole world on hold. Instead, we should take this time to strategize and be the most effective in our real estate goals so that when the shutdown is over, we can hit the ground running. Here are three things you can do during this time:

1. Get your finances in order and talk to a loan officer. It’s free to talk to a loan officer about your options. You can get an idea of how much you would qualify for, what your payments would be, and what steps you need to take to get you to that next level to buy your home or investment.

2. Start the conversation with a well-qualified Realtor®. We are scheduling video calls to anyone who wants them. There you can discuss what you are looking for, what’s realistic, and can even set you up directly to the Multiple Listing Service so you can do some searching on your own to set expectations.

3. Continue to read the articles on the web (such as Bigger Pockets, Housing Wire, and others). Also don’t forget to read on RickAlbertOnline.com, and follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. I’m constantly posting updates, strategies, and more insight into real estate. It’s important to get ahead of the competition and understand some of the ins and outs of the industry. If there is something specific you are looking for, reach out, and I’m happy to answer your questions.

Now is the time to not sit on the sidelines. Prepare, save, and educate yourself because while everyone else is doing it after the COVID-19 shut down occurs, you will be further ahead and can jump on opportunities as they present themselves.
