Currently we are still in a 'state of emergency' due to coronavirus and it looks like that will get extended a couple more weeks. 

I had both types, and during coronavirus, had one tenant lose job and thus became late on payments.

This was before the corona virus hit.

For example, with coronavirus cases beginning to rise again in many Eastern states and many countries around the world, investors have a renewed reason for caution, which tends to push bond yields (and mortgage rates), downward.

Brad Watt, CEO of Petra Capital said “eliminating exchange rules at a time when the economy is suffering from the coronavirus pandemic would deal a ‘one-two punch’ to real estate values. 1031 exchanges benefit the “everyday” man by allowing smaller and less capitalized real estate investors to increase their income and net worth by temporarily deferring tax on reinvested real estate sales proceeds.”The elimination of 1031 Exchanges could have a negative impact on the real estate industry including future real estate property values and the economic livelihood of the small investors who could lose billions of dollars in property values if the tax code is reformed.

Rising vaccinations and falling coronavirus cases have allowed states to lift business rules and encouraged Americans to resume normal activities.

Tour economy is strong and getting stronger thanks to a disappearing coronavirus pandemic, massive federal stimulus cash and a torrent of pent-up demand.

My trusty spreadsheet calculates unemployment in 57 other counties at 7% in May vs. 4.2% just before coronavirus hit.

Keeping people in their homes and out of crowded or congregate settings — like homeless shelters — by preventing evictions is a key step in helping to stop the spread of COVID-19.The order can be found at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-eviction-declaration.htmlI guess some states have been sitting on the money and not paying it to landlords :( Ohio (at least my county) has already done four rounds of funding in July, October, December, and have been accepting applications and sending out money since April-- They ran out of money in the December round and only half our tenants that applied were funded but they have since caughtup all but two and we expect one of those two to get funded soon.I will sure be glad when this is over though.

Even with the pandemic ending, buyers still feel a desperate need to escape their current apartment, basement, or home (after the coronavirus pandemic closed much of the world for more than a year) and move to greener pastures.
