I suspect this will increase as the people who lost homes do not want to live in hotels and, as the high season approaches, the hotels will be less inclined to provide reduced rates to the fire victims.I hope no one from out of state decides to move to San Diego until this housing situation is stabilized.i wish all the fire victims the best and success finding replacement housing.  

All else being equal, lower mortgage rates reduce the cost of ownership and, thereby, allow more people to afford to buy.

Raise rents, reduce expenses (shop insurance, appeal taxes, refinance, etc). 3.

1) cannot qualify for traditional financing2) fears appraisal will come in low3) fears buyer will back out so reduces contingency optionsnote for cash purchase I expect a significant discount.  

More and more investors are looking to assume low-interest loans rather than deal with reduced cashflow thanks to today's interest rates. 

I'm not 100% committed either way between the income benefits of multifamily vs. the reduced headaches of SFH tenants.

With that in mind, which approach do you think works best:1.Use property management software (PMS) as an intermediary to automate payments and fee splits while reducing legal risk and simplifying operations?

This way we reduce our monthly legal expenses and have cash reserves to weather the next few quarters during the virus.

I will be at the mercy of them for the next year unfortunately, hopefully I have few maintenance issues, this will reduce the opportunities for them to up charge.  

Lots of new supply now with reduced demand.
