I love your idea to just buy them something small instead as an olive branch while keeping business as usual, but I fear given the timeline of my immediate renewals I think it would be too transparent for me to buy them a ham and then a week later offer a renewal.

Transparency is key and communication is a must.

As a result, I'm looking for resources outside of that circle that understands this scenario and can perform honest, competitively priced work.Alternatively, we would also consider pursuing a good property manager, that provides transparency with us and their contractors, handyman, etc...

But definitely be aware of the risks of changing the title without the bank knowing, I think it is always best to be transparent. 

The key takeaway from this is you need to work and be completely transparent with your tenants a little during these times. 

Yes, I am keeping the deal together and have been very transparent with both buyer and seller. 

My main advice would be to do your due diligence in verifying that your partner(s) and/or the sponsor is trustworthy & transparent, and that you feel confident in their contingencies, and also that they have a track record in getting their investors their money in a timely, professional fashion. 

Best practice is to use a property management software to allow the information to be as accurate and transparent as possible.

They are a great software that you can use not only to get your tenants to pay online, but also to manage your property or property management using a software that so transparent and organized and can very easily help you track/identify expenses and areas of growth.

@Joe CarterHey a lot of people are  not as transparent as you, so good job on that.
