The seller's current mortgage terms are more attractive than hard money terms, providing us more runway to carry the property if necessary.

I would say you have at least a moral obligation to the community to prevent an attractive nuisance at best and a serious degradation of the neighborhood at worst.

Municipal bonds are particularly attractive due to the tax advantages.That should be plenty of liquidity.

I certainly don't agree with a Landlord change their fee structure during a disaster so they can continue keeping their wallet fat while their client suffers.

If there are zero to 1 available, then you'd be well positioned to attract a tenant when you place your new inventory in the market. 

@Sri L.I can’t answer all of your questions but I am able to answer some.Because you’re changing use of property, with a lot of down time for remodel and lease up, your ability to attract institutional financing will be dependent on your personal financial strength and tract record.

Part of the attraction of the property is the elevated rental income over the summer, which is now all but impossible.

If you're buying FHA its worth noting that you'll more than likely be paying market price or even a little over if its an attractive listing.

With COVID-19 paralyzing the American economy, Bernie's mantra of free college tuition, healthcare, and higher minimum wage will likely attract more people to his court now than in 2016.

And there are more and more new 2-family homes being built all over the place.With price per square foot still hovering in the mid $200s and the commute to Downtown Manhattan an easy 30 minutes, Bayonne is attracting a lot of interest, and I think it's a great house-hacking opportunity, especially for those coming from much more expensive markets (most of NYC and northern suburbs).To your point, the larger-scale activity is east of 440 on the former Marine Terminal only because there is so much space there and room for big-box stores like Costco, Lidl, Lowe's, Walmart, etc.
