@Jay Gill Even the Lenders gotten more strict but think that’ll ease down after awhile.

To be clear, I am not asking for any money or work from you, I could just explain my personal experience through here or on the phone for you to maybe ease some of the hesitation.

I would renew the lease on a month to month term and inform the tenant that it’s because you both are entering a new arrangement and the new agreement allows for both parties to exit the agreement with ease.

Submit a fake application and check for ease-of-use and quality of reports.

The advantage of buying a turn key property is ease of entry and lower risk if you're working with a reputable turn key company.

Big Boy pants on...give them notice to  ease trespassing and get their stuff off your land or it will  all be taken to the landfill.

Things are starting to ease back open here so hopefully this will be somewhat back to normal by June.

I guess once the restrictions ease, the market will show strong signs of recovery.

that is  good news  regarding the ease  you were able to sell and get full price .....the buyers  seem to be active  in the area in King county ....not much  new inventory so yours  was probably noticed right away...the other element helping stimulate activity is the low interest  rates .......the post above mentioning the lending tightening is definitely  accurate  especially for " jumbo " loans  ( > 741,750  for SFR) ..

Lending is definitely getting tight but I'm hoping lenders ease the breaks on that if things start to open up soon and we see progress in the right direction with covid.
