How likely do you think that is, now, with a slowing and uncertain market?

There is the rule where you can use 75% of rents to offset the mortgage, but that requires financing a property that is occupied, which seriously limits my options to find deals.Add to that the uncertain short-term future of the real estate market, and I'm wondering if it may be best to sit it out for the next few years, and hit it hard once I'm finished with school and have a real W2 income to back me up.My main concern is that my stack of dry powder will wither away due to inflation, and I'm not exactly eager to throw it into something else like the stock market to preserve it right now.

It's not easy to try and summarize 21-pages of potential legislation into a few posts.  

I'm writing this to check in on what everyone is doing through these uncertain times.

I know inspectors' jobs are to find every little thing wrong with a property and I have taken that into account, but I'm honestly overwhelmed and uncertain what I should do.

Do you expect a lot of the people who bought multiple STR in the past couple of years to be unloading soon due to the Coronavirus situation combined with what was already an uncertain airbnb future there?

Certainly an important issue that is easily misunderstood, one where I believe it is important for a prospective tenant to understand in no uncertain terms before they sign, for good measure and smooth relations for all.

(Received the following notice from my Property Manager yesterday regarding new California proposed rent legislation):In an effort to keep you informed of all of the laws that seem to change daily, we wanted to give you an update and also provide contact information to help the fight against California’s push to make property owners into individual welfare providers!

Then COVID-19 hits - and BOOM, markets tumble and our economic future looks a little (understatement) more uncertain.  6 months ago it's understandable to think that, with the market at its peak, diversifying in real estate was the prudent move - strike both sides while it's hot!  

We need legislation help to protect us and the consumers.
