I personally have a large reserve, believe that most of my tenants will not lose their jobs or be unable to pay, and could cash flow my properties with other income streams even if my reserve (which is nearly a year of PITI) ran out. 

Have plenty of emergency reserves, multiple streams of income from different business sectors (multiple properties is not multiple streams, technically). 

Industries such as movie theaters and gyms rely on customers to attend their place of business in person.

Sure, some of us also have a W2 job or other streams of income but still, there is a loss of work and its income that stemmed from the virus.Does that mean - as a host, manager, maybe cleaner - you'd be eligible for the unemployment benefits extended as a result of the virus and the passage of the stimulus bill? 

If you or you business is financially affected by the closures due to the covid-19 here is the resources that you can use to apply for 0% interest loans and/or grants form the city, state and federal government: http://www.pidcphila.com/covid-19#FUNDING%20&%20FINANCIAL%20ASSISTANCEI hope this helps anyone who is loosing income stream for the business. 

You sound like the main stream media, repeating something enough times hoping it will become true.I never advocated free rent Anthony.Simply 1. negotiate on a lower rent in the mean time or 2. let them break the lease and get a full paying tenant in the door.

The effects will not be the same in every market but when Freddie and Fannie changed the rules mid stream on current deals in process things dropped off quite a bit.

In Sacramento, I have had a steady stream of 'interested' potential tenants who were serious enough to have paid the $30 background check.

I signed up merely as a 'break here in case of emergency' option if my other income streams fail in the next 3 months that will absolutely force me to not able to make the mortgage payments.

Rather than selling the current house, I have been thinking of alternate ways to make use of this property to generate a side income stream.
