Hi Donald, it is awesome to that you're shopping around for the right platform to help you with managing your first rental.

@Alexis Mashaw-Williams yes, always happy to talk to new investors 😊I’m based out of Providence so (by RI standards :) that could be considered far, but these days where a lot of coffee shops are closed, phone calls are probably a better way to connect at least until the Coronavirus blows over.

All the value investors are bargain shopping and it is very tempting.

If you have proper face mask and some eye protection how safe is it to go shopping banking etc? 

If you're not happy with the terms don't be afraid to shop around and make sure you let them know.

I would make sure you get a great deal on your heloc and shop rates.

Retailers were already having trouble, so shutting their doors for months is only going to accelerate the shift to online shopping.

Our lease is up in June and we were starting to shop our options ealier in the month but have now put that on hold for awhile. 

Certain brokerages will offer incentives to refund various fees after your first few transactions, so be sure to shop around. 

If possible, I would shop around until you found something a bit more reasonable.
