I think that would be a tremendous burden lifted off him.  

As long as you fulfill your duties as the buyer, and act ethically, the sellers credit will improve from your timely payments and you have lifted the burden of dealing with the mortgage company from the seller. 

If any state mandated eviction moratorium is lifted before your forbearance runs out you still can't evict.

Hire some labor to get the heavy lifting done.  

So, I have laid out an approach of how investing in real estate can help us achieve that goal by letting a renter in our property do the heavy lifting, and grow equity in a rental that we can sell or use monthly cash proceeds to fund her education. 

"A rising tide lifts all boats" but the opposite is also true.

Electronic Lifts- disconnect the battery if leavingfor long term storage.K.

When you purchase the appliances make sure it includes them putting the new ones in so you don't have to to the heavy lifting and then labor is included in that.  

I'll have to rent a boom lift and scaffold and it will take twice as long as a normal job. 

Extra precautions and trust building will be necessary in things like Airbnb or other STR’s once state business restrictions are lifted. 3-6 months is my time frame for the end of the first wave, the resumption of business as usual, and the end or middle of the second wave.
