-I suffer from the same issue as you do and I feel many others are in the same boat as us.

And while you may not care if you lose a short sale deal, because you don't do it right, the owner who may not have time to try a short sale a second time, is the one who suffers if you screw it up, can't close, won't close, etc.

My property manager rented the place to an elderly lady who appears to be suffering from dementia but is assisted by her daughter.  

Or suffer the consequences.

That can take years.it’s yet to be seen whether this is depression level stuff we are talking here BUT people’s changed habits from suffering the effects of that trauma lasted the entirety of that generation.

On the flip side, another property owner had gotten his apartment building fully occupied with poorly vetted tenants just for the sake of occupancy, which we had to suffer with through non-paying tenants, evictions, damages, etc.

When we suffered the crash in the 2008 years, 25% of my tenants lost their jobs and they handled everything very responsibly. 

If 25% of their tenants are not paying rent due to Covid-19 related issues, then that means their income also suffers if they do not collect fees on these properties. 

I’ll be honest this is the type of stories that keeps me and newbies in general from taking actions (also suffering from a mild case of analysis paralysis:).

Your property will suffer and you probably struggle to collect rent if you do at all, and end in an eviction.
