@Sam Leon sounds like it would be beneficial to both of you to allow the month to month given it may be difficult to find a new tenant right now @Shawn York that’s great advice to inform tenants now!

@James LanierIf you are doing smaller deals that don’t require a ton of capital it may be beneficial to just have someone finance the deal & you pay them interest only.An example would be a private lender who lent the down payment and you agree to pay them 8%-10% and then in 1-2 years it is a balloon payoff.

My other 2 primary investment choices have taken a beating (I might as well say what they are because I have stated them in past posts: Mineral rights in North Dakota (basically gas) and stocks). 

Buy and hold has been my primary choice for education into the real estate industry.

@Lucas Carl means some people may not have a choice in their travel plans.

It's definitely one career choice that has paid dividends in my REI lifespan.

There are many people who have made a whole lot more money than me because of their risk tolerance, but I have always been the slow and steady wins.In uncertain economic times like this I am glad my wife and I (as a team) were able to make the economics choices we did because we are not negatively affected to the extent that many people are.I hope all new investors gain valuable insight and learn valuable lessons that will help them out in their path.The bottom line for me in life is that my family is healthy and that we are together. 

Does the lease read like a mutually beneficial agreement or is it threatening? 

I work in corporate America and have co-workers in their early 30's that are paycheck to paycheck because of their lifestyle choices. 

People will be forced to make choices...Some jobs might never get back, because companies have found new ways of doing things ...20% unemployment rates has been mentioned already by the people in charge.
