I have never been so optimistic, carefree, and motivated as I am now (big part of this is daily gym/cardio)Being a landlord is NOT the job for someone who wants to make everything out of their time in this life (fitness, travel freely on your terms all over the world, time with family and friends, meditation/time to reflect, learn languages).

The contract language will be key as it may release the tenant from all responsibilities or only from penalties/fees.

Does anyone have language that they are adding to new rental agreements to protect rent payments during this situation?

Each state has different rules and the attorney would know the best way of structuring language and provisions to protect each party.I would ask attorneys you are interviewing what experience they have with RE law and/or investing.

Looks like Airbnb hosts will get some relief under the coronavirus stimulus package about to pass Congress.The current language includes two provisions that could help short-term rental owners that are struggling:Hosts testing positive for Covid-19, or hosts with family members testing positive with the virus, would be eligible to apply for unemployment benefits.Hosts are also eligible to apply for small business loans to cover your mortgage and utility bills and possibly independent contractors like cleaners.This will be welcome news to a lot of our clients in Denver and Colorado Springs (as well as Erin and I, as we own an STR duplex in the Springs with some partners).

Yes a Realtor that is Investor friendly will understand the language and shouldn't have to ask what you mean, unless you have come up with your own terms and then you may have to explain!

It was also assumed and stated that there wouldn't be any relief for the landlords, only the tenants.But then I read through the proposed bill on the NY State Senate Bill site I found the language below.

Hopefully this won’t be taken the wrong way, but this was not written by someone whose first language is English.

Did you read the bill and the language inside it and if there will be asset or income stipulations?

By the way, many wholesalers are using "scam" language when talking to sellers so you can't really balk at their reluctance.
