What we want to do is identify and explain how quickly the private lending industry evolved and why some companies had a firm stop as of last week.In the hard money industry, the rates that are offered, coupled with leverage are a direct result of "supply and demand" of capital.

@Logan FreemanLogan, I appreciate you sharing what you believe is important to thrive in this industry.

I understand that there are still companies hiring, so if a tenant loses their job, there are still options to make money, such as the grocery industry.

Certain industries are getting crushed.

Perhaps my current CPA doesn't specialize in RE, but something like the mileage deduction would apply across multiple industries.

Every industry is going to be bailed out.

This is when it helps to talk to experts in the industry in your area.

With 22 apartments of my own and no dependents, I have enough scheduled passive income to survive a downturn in the brokerage industry if, and this is a big if right now, tenants pay their rent on time. 

My only hope is the $500 billion that is allocated to industries affected by the crisis.  

And I dont see a plan as of yet for the housing industry to get help.
