I have been planning to have an open showing at a rental next week prior to accepting any applications, however, in light of all that is happening I am having second thoughts. 

@Shawn Ackerman Deal was done prior to the major impact of COVID but I think its still a good deal.

Prior to purchasing the property I knew the roof needed replacement but I  didn't know bad. 

So the recent fed lowering of rate is not yet reflected in mortgage rates to the extent that the rates are lower than they were recently prior to the fed lowing the rate.We have our docs to our mortgage broker and can refinance when it makes sense. 

My lease has a clause that I could add utilities to if needed:APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS: ​All payments made by Tenant to Landlord after the tenancy commences, no matter how designated by Tenant, will be applied as follows: First to any outstanding amounts due by Tenant to Landlord for damages/repairs; Second, to any outstanding service charges and fees from prior months; Third, to any rent outstanding from prior months; Fourth, to any service charges or fees due in the current month; and lastly to the current month's rent.   

Yes, it’s certainly possible we would have visitors prior to the ban.

If so, then in order to have it returned, you would need to exercise the contingencies in your contract prior to them expiring in order to receive your earnest money back.There is more to this.

I managed this property for years prior to acquiring it.

Since section-8 is going to perform a contamination test prior to approval. 

(I'm personally ok with extensions for a month or so regarding possession; although we've had quite a few borrowers treat us poorly prior to the pandemic, I think everybody should stay put until things settle down for everyone's sake.)Finally, I don't think people will be rushing to invest capital in note funds at least for the next couple of weeks or maybe months.
