I feel like I should warn you that since the real estate crash ten years ago, the market has run back up to a high valuation.

No fine in the letter they sent, I think this was their "warning shot" that I'm on their list.

Have to kinda say  - I warned about the difficulties here. 

Economy gave recession warnings sign about a year ago with inverted yield curve.

This is exactly why those with experience have warned about over leverage, etc.I did not need a directive to dictate to me not to evict a tenant at this time. 

You can tell people how tough times can get - you can even warn them that there may be a day in the future where something like this happens.

Long post warning....New landlord here, my first tenants (mom/daughter) moved in Oct 2018.

If you lower the rent temporarily to "weather the storm" you'll end up "inheriting the storm" from a tenant that can only afford the lower rate.I always warn people to have a reserve for situations like this.

So I warned that landlords of working class tenants better build up cash reserves.Our game plan, when the tenants cannot pay, is to carry them, and have them pay 110% every month, once they're able to get back to work, understanding that if the lockdown lasts three months, it may take them two to three years to get back into good standing. 

I’m an eternal optimist, but felt it was necessary to at least warn people
