Next step

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your job. I guess the first order of business would to be to secure another job at least for the time being. Look at all your options and maybe talk to your accountant to see about where you stand. You don't mention if you have emergency funds and the like, so I guess you have to know all this and then worry about securing more properties. Best wishes!

Sometimes when one door closes another opens. It will all depend on your situation and what you are comfortable with. See this as an opportunity of your time to improve your situation.

So sorry you lost your job.

You could take this opportunity to do some wholesaling. Have you read Dean's book 30 Days To Real Estate Cash?

Yes, it is a good time to buy and hold, but with more buyers out there taking advantage of this market, that also means that you have a larger market of investors to wholesale to.

It's a great way to make money with no money

Good Luck to you!!
