The market is uncertain, and some sponsors that don't have the strength to be their own KP/loan guarantor might be at a greater risk for their deal imploding when the weather gets stormy.

@Matthew BarnettNo, nothing unusual about underwriting.

How this will play out is very uncertain. 

You probably just see more deals, more unusual situations, more opportunities. 

I can tell from my experience with them over the last three years that they provide an excellent service, top notch property management, and a culture within the company that is quite unusual and highly ethical.  

It has been on the market for ages which is unusual for Columbus. i cant really speak intelligently about the price since I still have a pre-2020 mindset but I do feel its aggressively high for that area. 

Quote from @Vessi Kapoulian: This is not ideal but not unusual if you are dealing with a mom and pop operator. 

That being said while life is uncertain and it is tempting to eat desert first don't forget how enjoyable the main course can be.

Your experience doesn't seem too unusual - you will receive a large number of inquiries, your job (or the property managers job) is to sort them and provide quick and clear responses to applicants on next steps (denied and reason for denial, etc).

The only times I've used the hinge ones is in very unusual circumstances, like the door opens to a glass front built in cabinet.
