In my opinion, you should go into every negotiation with a few different strategies on how to approach the conversation and then adapt to the conversation based on the seller's response. 

@Tom Shallcross - Also made a good point, different PMs specialize in different areas and you need to make sure your PM understands that area and is actively managing properties in that area.I fully believe we are moving towards a very automated real estate space so I'd also look for a PM that understands technology and is adapting and changing as new tech products come out. 

Some that are slower to adapt may fall to the wayside.

You're investing in a college town - adapt to the way things are run in a college town - separate leases.

Soooo.....adapt to the new policies and carry on! 

So far we have been able to adapt. 

It was a bit scary at first, but we adapted and solved the issue.

We have adapted to work nearly 100% remotely with few exceptions.

The transition has its challenges but there are more resources than ever to help us adapt to the new state of our industry.Hopefully these restrictions are lifted soon so that we can return to some kind of normalcy.All the best to you moving forward!

If you can wait, Id suggest you do so until we get some clarity.If you have a specific scenario, I can be more helpful but short answer is, we are all in this and lenders are adapting as this pandemic unfolds.
