Pains of Coronavirus While Flipping

Hey BP, just wanted to go over a couple pain points I am having with my flip during the Coronavirus period and see what others are experiencing as well. Luckily, It is not affecting too much for me, but there are some issues starting to arise now. 

Usually, I take all the demo materials to our local transfer station. Takes more time up, but it can save money on not renting a dumpster. The transfer station, however, is closed to the general public (besides commercial customers) . As a result, junk is really starting to pile up in the house! One way around this would be to just rent a dumpster or perhaps pay a local contractor that has an account there to dump it for you.

My second pain is many of the local contractors and subs, are getting picky about the jobs they take or are not working at all right now over concerns they might contract the plague. I have found it helpful to tell them the house is vacant, and they are then more willing to take on a project where few people will be around.

What are you all experiencing?
