Boosting existing property values , and thus household wealth, in lower middle class neighborhoods and giving the construction sector a chance to possibly rebound will really ignite a regional economic recovery.Another area I'd like to see some creative thought on is on getting long term vacant commercial repurposed or demo'd.

And by the way, yes, there are restrictions on owning land here (owning land not that simple unfortunately but possible)-- but properties with condominium titles are available for foreigners to own.  

But consider the following list of household expenses that could legitimately be expensed:- rent (if you use office space in your home you can take a percentage of your home mortgage / value)- cell phone- lawnmower- tools (home improvement tools, obviously)- computers- software (although really there is a lot of great FREE software out there if you know where to look... but that's another topic for another day)- internet connection- vehicle (but be VERY careful about this if you plan on doing it)- gas for the lawnmower- business lunches... and more.

The act would:Cancel rent debt for tenants who are diagnosed with COVID-19 or advised by a health care provider to self-quarantine; have lost income through furloughs, layoffs or other employment interruption; or are paying more for household expenses, child care or health care during the moratorium.

Median household income there today as per a recent national podcast of Small Town Murder is $19k. 

Here is a list of the screening requirements I put my potential tenants through: Credit CheckBackground CheckPersonal Reference Check (Minimum 2)Landlord Reference Check (Minimum 2)Applicant must submit 2 current months of pay stubs and bank statements If the applicant works independently or cannot provide pay stubs then applicant must submit 2 most recent tax returns and bank statements.Applicant must submit a scanned driver’s licenseThis could be overkill for markets with lower average household income.

Im sure you know how to save by virtue of having a household that includes two kids, it sounds like you have an income problem.

In business school, I learned how to do a SWOT analysis.SWOT = Strentghs, Weaknesses, Opportunities, ThreatsBy figuring out what I was good at doing (STRENGTHS), not good at doing (WEAKNESSES), and what was coming my way that could potential help me (OPPORTUNITIES) and potentially hurt me (THREATS), I was able to come up with a set of goals and a plan for how I was going to achieve them.My plan is written in a word processing program rather than carved in stone because I review and update my plan as the need arises.The CEO of your bank is doing this at the bank level, but there is nothing to stop you from doing a similar thing at your household level.

Also remember condos have high expenses such condo associations, assessments, etc.... and 80%-90% of them require a buyer approval before they can close which could complicate things as well without even mentioning the right of first refusal which some condominiums have on their bylaws....

The ones I've seen, such as some of my tenants, are living together with everyone contributing toward the household.
