@Patrick BlankenshipIt is definitely worth 20 minutes of google and researching but the highlights include a slightly higher VA funding fee for the second and on properties under your VA entitlement.

There was a segment that highlighted COVID's impact on real estate.

Position yourself to absorb the shock of how this will affect you should those projections of optimism be wrong.RESOURCESFor resources/articles I’d encourage you to remember that media, news outlets, etc are often sensational and biased.

Be sure that you highlight that "selling your house can be easier than you think" with the advantages of working directly with you instead of the more traditional route.Good luck.

But I wanted to highlight some specific examples of the title line of this article with REAL numbers and real experiences I have had.

This entire thing is highlighting one of those viruses that seems to be getting undeserved notoriety, in the face of all the other viruses they have circulating in and out of China in general!

@Tim Herman Got ya I will re-look at the numbers and see what I can come up with thank you for your help, it gives me some highlights on what I need to focus on. 

Every situation is different and I'm fairly certain most of our leases wouldn't highlight this situation.Also consider the repercussions of being in front of a judge in 90 days because you evicted someone who lost their income due to a pandemic.

If the tenant refused we would move to evict and would highlight that they are a safety hazard to other tenants on the premises - weather we win the eviction or not is irrelevant in that at that point we have shown a reasonable attempt to remedy the situation.
