It's no surprise that one of our most commonly asked questions this year has been, "Is it safe to invest during a pandemic?" And while we aren't financial advisors and would never dream of making your decisions for you, I can tell you this: personally, I've continued to invest in real estate during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you want to grow your portfolio despite a pandemic, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. It's important to purchase rental properties in markets that are not in bubbles. For instance, areas driven by tourism have seen dramatic shifts in the economy. You'll want to invest in markets that are largely recession-resistant.

Another thing to consider is landlord restrictions. States with severe rent controls, high taxes, and extended eviction procedures have forced individuals, investors, and businesses to seek opportunities in areas where opportunity exists for jobs, investment, and tax savings.

Texas, and Lubbock specifically were growing faster than other markets prior to Covid because of tax advantages and jobs. Demand and growth has rapidly increased. In addition, the local economies are business and landlord friendly.

Companies like Apple, Space X, Tesla, Google, Facebook, and Oracle have already relocated to Texas because of taxes, is an advantageous location within the USA for distribution and business travel, and the amazing education systems throughout Texas that are producing a highly skilled labor force that doesn’t need to be relocated.

This is leading to increases in rent price demand, a shortage of rental properties and available new construction real estate in general, and waiting lists of qualified tenants waiting for property to become available. This is the perfect storm for investors to take advantage of a growing market before the price to acquire property becomes out of equilibrium with the rents that property produces.

So should you invest during a pandemic? Personally, I think you can IF you do it right.
