I recently came across the idea of becoming a real estate investor from a commercial I heard on the radio a few months back.

We typically will also have the lawn care and pest control included in the rent to maintain a higher degree of control on the property but that's obviously an expense. 

Without finding, identifying, controlling a property that meets the criteria of the buyers ( a substantial discount from market value), your buyers list is worthless.

If you're trying to purchase the LLC and refinance current debt as the new owner, the mortgage lender may require seasoning to make sure you have skin in the game.Taking over an LLC is a great way to control the assets of the LLC for a minimal cost in many respects.Stephanie

Some are refunding and some are sticking to their guns as we have no control over the outbreak just like the weather.

If the purpose of the loan was to purchase additional real estate and it's a LOC or a loan with some controlled disbursement account attached to it, then yes that makes sense to me. 

If not, the lease that is in place should control any reimbursement you receive.

There is a lot of uncertainty in the world that I have no control over.

You do not want to break chain of control and stop your title policy.
