So what everyone must do is look at the scope of your tenants, stay as informed as possible about the economic impact your tenant may be experiencing and keep the lines of communication open as possible and be as forward-thinking as possible about solutions to what is going to a monumental collapse.

There is a need to create a win-win for all parties involved, and the landlord or manager needs to be a leader in a situation like this.Whether you self-manage or use a professional manager, communicate with your team and others in your community to find creative solutions to keep moving in the right direction.  

Im not sure if the question involves with the virus going on  but if it is then I would hope that the tenant would let me know that he or she can't pay the rent  so then  I would communicate with the bank where I have the mortgage and request a forbearance.

On the way home, he took me to a bookstore and I bought myself a copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. 

Technological advances creating more globalized economies and efficient means of communication (radio/phone mass adoption vs. internet and tech mass adoption).These are just some of the few uncanny similarities I am seeing between these time periods.

Be proactive in your communication.

And communication is key with what you expect of your tenants.  

@Rich Hupper @Rod HanksThanks for the replies.

Given the recent event and my current read, Rich Dads Guide to Investing ..

I'm finally getting around to reading the acclaimed 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' book, as everyone always recommends it.
