My one older brother even took a tour last week as he can't resist the cheap airline tickets....So yes, dont trust US media....Looking at what they went thru gives me confidence that we will come out of the other end soon too, provided we apply the same self discipline that they exercised....

I had applied for a conventional loan for a tenant-occupied property on the market for $170kthe lender told me that I can use a portion of the monthly lease to offset or "wash" the monthly payment for the loan.

I've read that these "rules" don't apply on pretty much every Denver post made in the past 4 years, but it builds confidence to hear it again from an experienced local on a project within my future realm of possibility. 

I concur with Matt on the technicality, at least as it applies to San Diego.Personally, I am doing the following for my residential projects (2-4 unit rehab/builds):Paused the start of construction on new projects till at least end of month (though planning and coordinating is still going).Made it clear to any of the subs and workers involved that it's their choice whether they want to work during this time or not.  

If the RE market is crashing and banks have to deal with a growing number of foreclosures and lending related losses, they will probably apply stricter limitations and conditions for borrowers and usually this type of limitations are applied to investors first: lower LTV, higher interest rates, more reserves required, etc.- My expectation is that homes prices will drop faster and further relative to rent prices so a higher interest rate may not inhibit our ability to refinance and make BRRRR work.

Hi @Marcee Stephenson As long as they are applied in a non-discriminatory manner, I don't believe any of these run afoul of any Ohio Statues. 

LOST WAGES/JOB If you have lost employment you should consider applying for unemployment with the State of Maryland.

@Daniel DietzContribution limits apply and contributions should be made in cash.

However if that's the case I might as well continue to use my platform and try to apply it to the US.

A skin care company I consult with here in Columbus OH is currently applying for a substantial business loan to help them prepare to scale this next year.
