I normally ask for a security deposit equal to one month's rent, 1.5x is the max allowed by law where I am and I would increase the deposit to the max IF the prospective tenant had a score above 500 and was working to improve their score and the rest of their history looked ok.Given the current environment with COVID -19, they may be very willing to help you out just to get a paying tenant into a vacant rental.Hope that helps,Kelly

(think of the savings in the environment if we reduce commutes to 3 days a week and work remote)Real Estate is about knowledge and buyers will continue to use good agents,  sure commissions will change they have been changing for years. 

If that's the case, can you personally afford to float the property for that long with no rent coming in - because in this environment, it might not come in.

As opposed to moving elsewhere to a unknown environment.

(In Tri-State or elsewhere) Does anyone expect to begin seeing more as the current environment continues?

I'd say there's never a "right time" to invest; however, the "right deal" can come along at any time.True, the current financial environment is unprecedented in most of our lifetimes.

@Arthur Davis - if you're looking to pull money out for investment purposes, I think it's a safe bet to hold off for now, as there are too many variables in the current environment. 

I would think this is the right environment for wholesalers who have a pulse on their community.  

Good evening.Looking for some wisdom / experience from someone who has leased up office suites to various tenants in small, historic, boutique environment or something similar.What kind of issues can come up either between the tenants themselves or in dealing with multiple leases under one roof?

I want to provide a safe environment for my tenants and don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable.
