If jobs don’t come back when stimulus ends, NOI will suffer and defaults will increase.  

I did some research and this is what I think I know:If someone is living at the property then they are considered a "tenant at sufferance" and I need mail them a certified “demand for possession” letter. 

The costs of borrowing are far less than the discount you would suffer if you sold the note.If the note pays off in full as you anticipate it will, we (yes, we make those loans) get paid off in full and you get the rest of the money.In summary, you own note, you use it as collateral to borrow money.

Many of the accidental landlords don't treat it like a business and the tenants suffer.

Shyness is not something I suffer with!  

Hey BP Members,My situation on hand is my SFR suffered fire damage due to an unattended stove.

Sold a property less than a year ago that suffered damages in the most recent earthquake.

I also am suffering from analysis paralysis....
