In any negotiation you have to be ready to walk away and if they wont entertain the new price or conditions you're not willing to buy it at the over inflated price either. 

If you are a relatively solo operation 6mo will probably go by fast, but as you get a few under your belt and the cashflow starts compounding, it wont seem like much time or much setback. 

You can keep it local too but suffer the difference in cap rates.

We’re in a comfortable 7 figures and haven’t suffered terribly through the is downturn.  

I think price appreciation will suffer in some areas.Sub 400K now and more as you move down the price curve, there seems to still be strong demand. 

Sometimes they don't sell because they want to much and wont accept less but sometimes those people will play ball if you make friends a bit.  

I dont and wont invest in the city .

Let me explain why this wont work: In Central Florida, most of the homes are single family homes which are in an HOA.

@Kayla Oliver-PrattIt's a difficult time all around so please keep in mind that the tenant may be suffering too.Recommendations:Develop your game plan.How to do that.Emotionally come to terms that this property may no longer be financially viable to your goals and be foreclosed on by the bank.

Things should be discoverable out in the open and this will prevent abuse and deceit of tenants to their landlord.Only the tenants that have truly suffered income loss should be protected under the eviction moratorium, and furthermore if the government really cared they should provide direct rent assistance to the tenant by paying the missing income amount to the landlord directly for the rent until the emergency is lifted and the tenant has found employment.I think the government has no leg to stand on other than to say they were acting out of emergency.
