In other markets like the SF the shape of those curve is very different with very prolonged periods of rapid expansion with shorter duration of contractions.

I have personally found that Real-Estate backed Private Notes / Loans are the most secure way to invest your funds for any duration you so choose, at an interest rate WAY better than the banks, or bonds, with monthly "dividends" and still secured by an actual physical asset!

But for those who want to BRRRR, flip or join in syndication for that defined duration, this would be a great way to do it.As with all investments, you must tread carefully. 

—During the covered period, a borrower with a Federally backed mortgage loan experiencing a financial hardship due, directly or indirectly, to the COVID–19 emergency may request forbearance on the Federally backed mortgage loan, regardless of delinquency status, by— (A) submitting a request to the borrower’s servicer; and (B) affirming that the borrower is experiencing a financial hardship during the COVID–19 emergency. (2) DURATION OF FORBEARANCE.

The duration mismatch is ridiculous.

And, possibly even the way we evaluate transferring credentials between countries for health care workers of the current death rate trend for health care workers hold true for the duration.

What are reasonable replacement durations for these items?  

Padding the dates now is a very good idea.As for the due diligence phase, I usually let it cover the entire duration of the contract. 

As someone already said, have the seller negotiate and sign a lease for the rent and duration you desire.

Thanks for your replies.Here is the TERM section of the lease:---------------------------Term: The term of this lease shall be for "one year" (duration) commencing 01-01-2019(date) and expiring at 11:59 PM Eastern Time 12-31-2019 (date (the “Initial Term”).Either Landlord or Tenant may terminate the tenancy at the expiration of the Initial Term by giving written notice to the other at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the Initial Term.This notice shall contain a definitive move-out date after which the Tenant must have completely vacated the property.
