Below is a compilation of the letters NAR has sent, as well as a summary of the work NAR is doing with state associations to classify real estate services as essential services in emergency declarations.

My guess is it depends on your location, what is happening and how contractors are classified (essential service or not). 

I found this on Fannie Mae's site that suggests it could be classified as a primary residence even with me not occupying the property, but not sure what the exact qualifications are or if it'd still be applicable, as I currently own a residential rental & own/occupy a condo in TX.Has anyone run into this situation before, or have any thoughts? 

Well guess what.If someone lives out of state (for his job) and rents there and owns a house in florida, he has but ONE house, yet he is classified as an absentee owner right?

And this may be classified as a health hazard, which evictions under most eviction moratoriums are still allowed.

I would classify this as a necessary repair because the tenant is talking about sparks, if god forbid something were to go wrong that text message just screams lawsuit.

That will tell you how it is classified.  

I would probably classify this as a B class property.COVID-19 definitely has me worried in terms of how it will impact my property's price/rental income.

Not Just LocalProperty owners should not only look at local marketing (such as local housing lists, newspaper classifieds, flyers, etc.), but instead turn to national marketing efforts.

California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) has been excellent in giving Addendums and all pertinent information; i.e. how each Calif county/local area classifies Realtors in terms of "Essential", etc.
