This may soften the impact some.

I can already see the affects with a somewhat softening of the market in columbus.

I would like to work out a feasible plan for moving forward so that when the travel restrictions loosen and the market softens I am ready and able to move.Now is a great time to take stock of options and formulate plans.I’m just not sure on the best way to go.

Even in the face of COVID-19 the market is still surprisingly strong but could soften a little later this year. 

My tenants want a water softener and I'm going to work out a deal where they will pay the monthly financing for the system if I pay the downpayment and the installation fee.

I like the "If I take away...." approach to help soften the blow.Example....You: "I would like to get at least one unit rented prior to closing. 

Prices may soften a little or stay put for a year.

The monthly HOAs could soften cash flow and projected influx of high-rise condo development to the Austin area could dampen appreciation growth and rental demand.  

I've seen a property appraisal; in early April 2020, at around 900K less than 8 months ago, and the Appraisor specifically mentioned Covid-19, yada yada.If the property is worth what the Seller thinks it is during this point in time (and taking a future recovery or furthur softening of prices into consideration), Seller shouldn't budge from the price he/she thinks is fair.

I can either go into the AirBNB business (assuming their former role) or renegotiate with the renter.I would change the title of this post, if I could, to soften it.
