@Joshua Jackson,I wouldn't try to wholesale a property at auction because they generally want a deposit immediately and then to complete the transaction very quickly.

I was on board and put a deposit on one bid for "TPO with 1 inch insulation" for 20K, but now the company were applying for permits and the building division requires 5 inch insulation. 

This give the total value of all the profit collected if someone deposited it in a checking account every month and left it alone.

If you do decide to go forward with offering financial assistance, I'd be VERY specific on what you're doing to assist (30 days, 60 days, use of security deposit etc) so that you have some recourse if things go sideways. 

So you may have trouble getting new tenants and deposits. 

You’ll probably also need a separate account for security deposits.

I have already wired my deposit to the title company last week.Anyone had there deal postponed or delayed because of the virus?

To be able to deal with this impending impact, we are going to have the tenants forfeit their security deposits and we will work with them to repay their security deposit.

So if I signed a lease and put a reservation deposit of 200$ can I get out of it ?

We were prepared to walk from a $6000 deposit but the seller opened the door for us to exit with no penalty.
