It’s hard to find an opportunity to talk about anything OTHER than the pandemic right now. This week we begin mentally taking control of our destinies by making a conscious choice to move forward while taking every precaution recommended by local state and federal authorities. We will make progress mentally, virtually, and this will translate soon to real life.
Thursday night we did a second call in our series on real estate investing during a pandemic. Our guest panel was Jeff Holst, Darlene Coquerel, and Michael Green, three prolific investors and mentors with a high volume of flips and rental properties between them. We discussed a number of questions facing landlords and house flippers and dug in to find ways we can continue to make a living in real estate during these challenging times.

Panel: Jeff Holst, Darlene Coquerel, Michael Green Your Questions: Send emails to questions@rogerblankenship.com - Wanda, Villages of Ocala, FL “Our rentals have been doing very well but we are concerned that during the pandemic our income may completely dry up. How are you handling this in your business? What can we do?”
- Martin, Alexandria, VA, “Our fixing and flipping business has been running on all cylinders this year and we really haven’t seen any slowing yet, but I’m growing concerned about the short-term future. I have six properties with hard money loans right now and if I can’t get the work done on them, I’ll be out of business. I’d appreciate your thoughts.”
- Fabriana, PIttsburg, PA “I’m struggling to get crews to show up and city inspectors to come to the job site. Everyone is overwhelmed, but so am I. If I can’t finish my two properties I will lose everything.”
- Carissa, Milwaukee, WI “I’ve been on the phone with my tenants and although I have a friendly relationship with all of them, a couple of them have said some pretty rough things to me. Accusing me of greed, exploitation, one even called me a corrupt b---. I don’t want to get into arguments with them - that seems pointless, but I also don’t want to just take it. How do you handle this?”
