. - Try to get your property manager or realtor to aim for Section 8 tenants, as these tenants are really recession proof, given the government pays for most of the rent. 

There is a GREAT DIFFERENCE between a RESIDENCE that you are selling on terms (lease option, land contract, installment sale) and an INVESTMENT PROPERTY that you are not living in as a primary residence.Usually you can do whatever you want with your residence sale every 12 months.Btw, Dodd Frank will be not necessarily repealed soon but ammended as it is oppressive during a recession (my opinion). 

And I think the Coronavirus/COVID-19 is exactly the kind of catalyst that will cause us to start looking at declining rents for the first time in years.What I think will happen is what happens in every recession, namely that a lot of people will be forced to either move home or double/triple up (get roommates, or more roommates than they had), which will reduce demand.It's possible I'm wrong, we could (eventually) get inflation and maybe rents will keep rising.

I think they could work well for recession type markets.

Much worse than a run of the mill recession.

I see life as a chess game and this recession as a crucial part of the game.

But if you’re looking to buy a class B+ NNN bldg, it’s not exactly down now...and even when their prices soften this year due to the virus led recession, I doubt hard properties in good locations are going to drop anywhere close to 50-70%.

Housing cannot go up and up and up with no end, employement can not always be at record breaking lows, stock market cannot always be at record breaking highs -- all while debt load has hit record highs as well, and that a recession should have already occurred in 2017, 2018, 2019, but the Governments did everything they could to keep the economy artificially propped up each of those years.
