All of your responses make memuch more comfortable to list.

It had lasted about 4 hours before the owner accepted an offer but we put in a full price backup offer and assured the seller's agent that we were comfortable with the damage we had seen and would be easy to work with.

I want to make sure I have this down: So you are saying with this type of loan, the lender will look at the property being purchased and then they will analyze the rent that I will get getting, and assuming that the rent at least covers the mortgage, they will be comfortable giving a loan on that particular property?

Each investor has their own type of investing though so whatever makes you comfortable.

I live in a townhome that's not huge (1400 sq ft split between 2 levels)On the main floor is the living room, dining room, and kitchen.

More importantly, ARE YOU comfortable doing so?

I would do what you are comfortable with should this go on for a bit. 

By the end of week 3, if things are opening back up, we will be dining out on the beach, staying in a hotel somewhere tropical because we will be so sick of being home, we just need to get out.Based on my circle of friends, this is not a unique situation. 

I would encourage them to look into side hustle jobs, maybe they can deliver food from all the restaurants that have closed their dining rooms.

That is my opinion everyone has to do what they feel comfortable loans will close.
