Actually what I meant by that is I can’t quit cleaning and just hangout and be a stay at home mom and not contribute to the household.

@Nancy Stark I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice, but the eviction moratorium is only for non-payment of rent, and the tenant has to prove they were unable to pay due to substantial loss of household income, loss of compensable hours of work or wages, a lay-off, or extraordinary out-of-pocket medical expenses.

@Megan Winterberg if I were to offer a suggestion it would be 1) identify your desired market (steady population growth, job growth, rent growth, decrease in crime, household income and value) www.city-data.com can provide a lot of useful metrics.2) identify your submarket using same approach as above.

You can save money in the long run just by making sure most household repairs stay to a minimum. 

Only low income households and the super rich will be tremendously affected by covid.

The definition, as stated in the  order, says this: if an individual cannot pay all or part of their rent "due to substantial loss of household income, loss of compensable hours of work or wages, a lay-off, or extraordinary  out-of-pocket medical expenses".

I lived in Echo Park from 2009 to 2019 and watched home prices skyrocket (I remember the first $1M sale, then the first $2M sale) while the neighborhood became marginally safer and nicer.Here's a map of household formation form 2013-2018 (that's the most recent data the Census Bureau has published) in the area you're considering: As you can see, El Monte is very green!
