Steady recovery from pandemic for the hospitality industrySome hospitality markets such as the Chinese, are now showing pre-pandemic behaviour with “seasonal fluctuations” in the occupancy rate, meaning that COVID is no longer determining changes in the industry and the restrictions that come with it.

Trying to think of ways to avoid doing the right thing and potentially making that dust cloud toxic is absolutely repugnant and the kind of behaviour that gives decently-minded investors and contractors a bad name.I am literally the last person on earth who loves regulations, but in the case of asbestos the regulations are there for a good reason.

With good interpersonal skills and the preparedness to take action should stuff go wrong (cash for keys/eviction), you should avoid any kind major disaster.

I’ll defer the interpersonal relation question to someone else :)

I don't know who their investors are but someone representing them should look into this unprofessional behaviour.

If you maintain ordered and timely communication between all involved parties, have excellent interpersonal skills, are business-minded and un-stubborn with eternal patience for customer interaction and able to remain calm and professional in any discussion environment, then you're a cut above most of the field.As far as growing into top-tier, decide what demographic that means in your community and break into it. 98% of my work is client referral and over the years I've moved past the "hungry" phase of doing anything for anyone, having my hourly be sliding scale, etc. and into being busy with work that I actually like doing and what I want to be doing.

@Aimee Tarte yes it does ding you, but at the end that is what the score is about - it measures your exposure and risk to a lender based on your financial behaviour.

Works great and looking forward to using it even more now that there are real concerns with COVID about interpersonal contact in a confined space. 

etc.I think when people are saying that the real estate market is not affected by the virus they are meaning that downward pressure on prices and rents tend to lag behind the general market economy and so number changes would take some time to show up but you rightly point out that the buying and selling behaviour has been impacted by the social restrictions and this is very new so I agree that there is an impact albeit temporary.To respond directly to your concerns about extending - I wrote an offer yesterday and we included a hot off the press COVID-19 Addendum to the contract to mitigate the buyer's exposure if delays resulting from the disruptions caused deadlines to be missed - the traditional Purchase Contract in FL at least has a Force Majeure contingency in it but COVID-19 is not considered a Force Majeure event so you may need to consult with your agent/Attorney about how to get an extension.

Like most engineers, I'm quite introverted and therefore my interpersonal skills are not the greatest.
