And the global health crisis is getting worse, so I’m not sure why anyone would think we are out of the woods yet.What happens when commercial real estate collapses and hundreds of millions of square feet of office space is converted to housing in cities?  

I'm curious if the impact from COVID may help change cities' opinions towards using investment properties for STR's, as there is a health concern element to staying in hotels/motels where there are definitely more risks involved in exposure.

I've found a great looking deal in the classified ads that is off the MLS and includes a bundle of 3 houses listed at about 70% the price of comps though I haven't seen it in person yet.Seller claims to be selling "due to health" but that's all I know at this point.  

Either way, it's NOT the end of the world but only part of real estate venture as it's summed up in Green Day's song "Good Riddance":Another turning point, a fork stuck in the roadTime grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to goSo make the best of this test and don't ask whyIt's not a question but a lesson learned in timeIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your lifeSo take the photographs and still frames in your mindHang it on a shelf in good health and good timeTattoos of memories and dead skin on trialFor what it's worth, it was worth all the whileIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your lifeIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your lifeIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your life--------------Good luck

The one tenant has been there for 30 years and has health issues.

It's not reported to the health department so there's not a lot of oversight.  

In this economy, I cannot afford to loose my health insurance.

She is at a mental health facility right now.

At your age, in decent health, (I'm not an insurance broker and just totally guesstimating off of past and more recent experiences; YMMV) you'll probably spend around $1000/year for a $1M 30-year term policy and around $5000/year for only $500k in coverage.

If you are frugal, however, the long term health costs of eating a instant Ramen rich diet, which includes both long term medical costs and quality of life considerations, make them potentially very expensive.
