It's a whole lot better for them to see a yearly $15 a month increase than sailing along for 5 years and Bam the owner now raises it $100.

That will give you a picture of which markets to dive deeper on and which to cut out because the ship has already sailed. 

At that time we would both have a garage sail together. 

I have a business that, with a slight pivot, should sail through this situation and lots of dry powder.

Yep, the ship has sailed for her. 

Every day is bringing about a new scenario, so keep your wits about you and hope we sail through this smoothly.

If these bottom end jobs go away temporarily (smaller businesses close or fail or do not reopen), a lot of people may abandon their Apartment situation  before their leases end (workouts for them or not).If Market Rents on Apartments goes down, SFH rents may follow and Section-8 lease renews may also go down.Vacancy rates on Apartments in the top 10 US real estate markets are going to be interesting after we come out of this.Class-C apartments will probably suffer the most through all of this, and if SFH rental prices cannot compete due lower rents to putting them into negative cash flow--we may see loan defaults on SFH Rentals in the top 10 markets.Hopefully it's smooth sailing, and not all 10 markets are equal. 

You sail out into the open seas with your boat load of hopeful sailers. 

But feeling like the wind blew out of my sails this morning.

Not too terribly confident about 2021 sailing though.
