If it’s not a temporary situation they should look for a home at 1/2 that price.  

I understand leaseholds is basically temporary ownership of the unit but not the land itself and based on how many years is left on the lease.

@Michael Noto I was thinking of making it a temporary provision while our state is on stay home order.

How does the Reagan quote go "There is nothing quite so permanent as a temporary government program."

It’s a long journey..this is only temporary.

Owning rentals involves volatility in cash flows, if the investors can’t figure out the best way to deal with COVID-19 while paying all their bills, then they don’t deserve to have rentals. 2 - There are options available to Investors: They can always put it on a credit card, which really already has a payment plan set up for them with their terms... an investor can quite literally just pay the minimum until they get back on their feet, not suggesting anyone just make the minimum on a CC but that is an option, just like it is an option to put food, utilities and anything else on a credit card, investments are no different. 3 - There are loans available to Investors: Applying for temporary or unsecured loans to make ends meet are available and even more so now - and before anyone says you won't qualify - there's only one person to blame for getting yourself overleveraged in some vanity fueled quest to reach x number of doors and yes... a CC is a type of loan when used - so if you have a CC... you can access to borrowed funds with a re-payment system. 4 - Why does an investor have to own their current rentals?

Yes, there's a temporary halt, but when that halt is lifted, you're going to have a lot of folk unable to hold onto their homes due to lost wages.

(Bet you didn't think of that when you were trying to justify your logic on "property" and railroads)  The "temporary emergency" never justifies the trampling of Constitutional rights,  PERIOD. 

This is a temporary issue.. we are most likely not heading into a recession.

For your tenants that have gotten laid off, if you haven't already, suggest they get temporary jobs at places that are hiring aggressively right now.
