Maybe we will pool resources with our friends and even strangers to help those in need out.We have a great nation, we are the most giving nation in the world. 

I sent an applicant an application to complete; however, I noticed that I sent a completed application with another potential tenants information on it. I know I have to notify the applicant and talk to my lawyer. I w...

She is actually coming tomorrow to bring a photographer to take pictures of the house even though we would prefer her not to bring strangers amidst the global pandemic going on.

you guys have to realize you should work with tenants,because if this last along time like 2008 ,you will realize what i mean.sure everyone should be able pay their rent with their stimulas checks.sure you might have to workout payment plans to they get them.but after that it might get rough ,if the goverment does not get people back to work.what choice to you have,a tenant you know,or a complete stranger without a job.alot of you where not around in 2000 and 2008.this market could get real bad.like now if you advertise a place you get a good responce to look at it.in 2008 you would advertise and hardly anybody would respond and if they did they wanted 1 or 2 months free rent.i would prefer to work with tenants now,and i can already  know which tenants its going to be.it will be the 10% of tenants you always have to remind to pay.90% of your tenants will find a way to pay.we  all know they signed a contract to pay,just be nice if they work with you,maybe stop late fees or reduce them.but to forgive the rent is another story,unless the goverment forgives our taxes.you got to realize now you should be in survival mold,for i can tell you if you make it threw their should be sunshine at the other end.because most new building is coming to a halt,most remodeling coming to halt ,most family being home more ,which maybe creates larger family,and when this done most banks will have even more tougher standards for a loan ,like 6 months reserve for a borrower.so down the road rents will rise probably more then before this crisis.so just hang in their and develop a plan you your situation.so look as this as a bump in the road.and if you live in wisconsin ,you should know by the amount of potholes we have

If you are concerned showing the property yourself, how can you expect tenants to allow strangers who may or may not have this virus?  

The kinds of people that would rent a room in a house full of strangers, those are the kinds of people you don't want to rent to.

I'll throw in how annoying it is to have a stranger enter my home and take pictures of everything!!!

Maybe they will, maybe they won't, but they sure won't be able to look at me to blame.Not only will they not look at me to blame, they won't harbor any ill-will against me when things go bad for them.What I think about all the time, and maybe this is because I am a cash investor, is the fact we allow strangers to be in control of very expensive assets, our life's financial work in many cases.

They want to see the unit but also share the same fear as everyone else entering into a stranger's home.

Why would it be awkward, I'd think it'd be more awkward to have a person without a long term partner trying to bring strangers in to have "alone time" with.
