Happy to set up a zoom call or sit down when social distancing is a thing of the past!

Be active in your community, on social media and of course engage in on-line forums such as Biggerpockets!  

With the current turbulence in the rental markets in terms of iffy payments and evictions being halted, I'm looking at employing a lease option strategy for the next while as I move from the Canadian market into the US market. 

When they arrive you practice social distancing and don’t invite everyone over at once.

The property has 973 sqft.I purchased in cash on January 24, 2020, and put it under contract on February 20, 2020.I was scheduled for closing at the end of March 2020 but due to COVID 19 and social distancing, the close has been pushed back to en of April or maybe in May 2020.

I re-iterated few times that I absolutely need the house empty asap, but given the social issues with virus, I decided to accomodate.

I put "quick money" in quotes because if you do not do your research ahead of time, you could be falling into a money pit and back-to-back purchases may make it hard to financially recover if you come across a huge expenditure while fixing/flipping.Start by joining local social media groups on Facebook for the area you're in - then you may find you now have access to off-market properties that are not available on MLS.

He does get a small social security income.

Given the other option is massive evictions, foreclosures, and a ton of friction to the system, if you do believe the economy may bounce back quickly, the cost of these concessions is likely to outweigh the social cost of evicting and foreclosing en mass.Sometimes one's individual rights being trampled are a sacrifice for a greater good. 

I suspect that social distancing is here to stay for a year to a year and a half and quite frankly hotels/short term housing and retails/restaurants likely aren't able to last that long.
