They're happy to do so because, in so doing, they're basically paying for having the best investors manage their money.However, because of the Covid crisis, we are in one of the right times when we have the opposite situation, in which the REITs are selling at a discount to the net asset value of the property assets they hold and many of these discounts are huge.

Has anyone made revisions during this crisis that create greater accountability?

I will say he is a very nice person, had an engineering job for 30 years and presented clean and responsible.Question - has anyone ever rented to a person in crisis like this where the insurance company pays the housing expenses?

On the other hand, I disagree with the last comment because history suggest that land-holders generally survive an economic crisis better than most. 

The reason is that the banks and the govt know that this crisis is nobody's fault.

There is a way to diplomatically point that out, expressing that you don't appreciate being exploited, and explaining that your investment goals and timelines are no less important than his. 

That way you have flexibility in a crisis, You can manage your 1031s better. 

This was one crazy way for the government to avoid doing its job during a national crisis. 

The root of the affordability crisis is lack of supply.

STRs, to the extent they are now, haven't been around for more than a decade and really havent seen their spike until the last 5 years. 2 - STRs are making the housing crisis worse in resort towns that have no regulations in place.
