@Andreas Schneider are you looking at SFRs now because of difficulty finding competitive financing for multifamily, or because you are seeing those properties having more resilient tenants?

Hardness makes it more robust and "knife, pot, pan, and toddler-proof", busy makes it yet again pretty resilient and able to hide minor imperfections, and niceness subconsciously selects tenants with a more premium mindset ideally.

Occupancy and Collected Rents are up at all but two...and those two are operating at status quo.Note that our strategies involves very little leverage, small markets and discounted buying of value add properties as an intentional way to compound the resiliency that the asset class itself has inherent within it.

I know this situation is not ideal, but the learning & resilience you are developing will serve you well in the future. 

So we are all looking to find markets that are thriving right now yet are also resilient to any additional constraints the "pandemic" may cause in the near future.
