The tenant will eventually have to pay and they can still accrue late fees or other penalties. 

My employer never liked that I had rentals and also flipped some properties Why would a car dealership care if their sales staff invested in real estate, out of curiosity?

(Yes, is annoying and stupid and your situation is exactly the grade A example why) I would verbally communicate with the tenant and explain (in a 'nonthreatening') manner - don't use the terms like fine, fee, or "eviction" - that based on your understanding that they have not been impacted personally by COVID-19 insofar as income or ability to work that they should be able to, and you do expect them to continue to pay rent,   and while you will comply with all emergency orders, unpaid rent will continue to accrue and is expected to be repaid.    

However interest will continue to accrue on both unpaid balances until they are paid.My question is, 2 years from now will I get dinged when trying to take out a loan for an investment property? 

If the utilities are in the landlord's name, you cannot shut off utilities even if they stop paying rent and the bill will continue to accrue during the perhaps drawn out eviction process. 

Out of curiosity, why are you against syndicating this opportunity? 

@Lance Castillo out of curiosity, why would you prefer a balance sheet lender over any other lender?

Out of curiosity, what kind of law do you practice?

I have been planning to buy my first house hack this year and have accrued about $20k to put towards this first investment.

So my goal for the next 6 months as I accrue cash is to network very hard and get to know all the wholesalers, etc. in my area.
