Currently on a wave to try and find a multi family property in that city.

Even the fee hungry airlines are refunding fares and waving change fees.

Sure, your first month or two owning this home might be a real slump (I don't know about indefinitely - anyone who catches the virus now shouldn't be contagious a month from now, which means we'll probably see waves of people staying home, and then ideally life will return to normalcy after this initial panic), but these atypical circumstances are precisely why real estate investors insist on factoring in vacancy to your cash flow analysis.

Please don't wave inspections if you're, not 100% sure its the best thing todo. 

To be specific, we were waved the appraisal fee, no points, lowered percentage rate (to match a competitor bank) and half the cost of lenders fee.In the first Loan Estimate everything was incorrect.

We have seen a wave of cancellations over the past week in Columbia, SC due to event cancellations, University closing, military base closing, etc. 

School closures will disproportionately impact blue color. 2020 housing market boom is fueled by blue color, they are the last wave. 

Riding out waves like this is key! 

Oh, and what if wave two strikes this fall/winter?

So long as you don't HAVE to sell you can ride the waves until the tide rises and you're back on track to refinance and cash out.That said this is NOT the time to buy deals with high-interest short-term debt (hard money, etc.) unless you know it's a slam dunk.
