The standards had loosened recently, but nothing like 2006.In 2006 I had left my former industry, started a new business that I had zero background in, and moved states.

We have 1 unit occupied, we plan to evict that tenant once restrictions are loosened.

We don't have a sale date yet but things are moving in the right direction.Our perspective: some states are still in full lockdown mode where things are stalled, other states are starting to loosen up with one state having no restrictions at all.

Looks like if you put less than 15% down and it's a second home, they require an in person, full appraisal, but otherwise have really loosened the requirements. 

As long as they loosen the travel restrictions prior to the Memorial Day I don't expect much to change.

It appears they are loosening the regulations for unemployment and allowing temporarily laid off people and 1099/freelancers to collect unemployment and also giving an extra $600/week onto the u employment checks.

If they hear from you a few times, they may loosen up.

Supply increases, demand decreases, defaults without foreclosures (not allowed for now but will be soon enough) will create a new real estate panic Government will require banks to loosen the grips that were put in place after the last crash.....

Seems to me that this loosened up a bit with the fed dropping rates but for how long?
