I know there's  little hope things might look up but i am feeling a little nervous that things can get worst and my rentals will suffer.

So far (knock on wood), none (including me) have incurred a tenant who is unable to pay...but we all know of landlords/owners who rent in more affordable/transient markets who are suffering.  

@Vincent Plant  In these specific circumstances, if she's been a good tenant, talk to her and work out a plan. 

(baltimore county, md) I want to look at suburbs of springfield, MO as single family homes there are cheaper and the company I work for has a plant in the area if I ever decide I'd like to move there.

In my opinion, the ends of the market may suffer, but that's not where I play anyway.

We’ve been living in Tampa for almost a year and bought an off-market property in south Tampa in the Plant schools district.

Admittedly there will be a LOT of those deemed 'non-essential' who will suffer financially & fall back to Guv welfare, but there seems to be an uncanny resilience to financial doom for most.

Bottom line is thousands of people are suffering financially right now and many of their employers that are shuttered right now are never going to make it back.

If the current rents are $1200 per floor and market rent is $1500 per floor, there will be some pain and suffering raising the rents, but LONG TERM the house has more value. 

I understand that a lot of BP members do not like the SD market but I am attempting to grow where I am planted.
