Not sure what everyone's else thoughts are but if they're comfortable with the reports, and see the property as a value buy, aren't' they the ones that are really taking the risk?

You will be working with them a lot so you will want to feel comfortable openly communicating with them and foresee yourself building a great working relationship with them.

You might still get some interested parties if you start looking now but the question is are you comfortable with showing your unit at this time if people want to see it? 

I plan to work with my tenants and would like them to feel comfortable staying in their homes, but they need to do everything within their power to make good on the agreements they have with me.

Figure out what your comfort level is for contingency funds, i.e.

They also agreed lenders have no desire to take ownership of properties if it can be avoided.Bloomberg's Langbaum said he takes some comfort in knowing lenders and landlords alike are far better capitalized vs. 2008, when it was commonplace to see loan terms for overdue mortgages extended indefinitely — a practice known as “extend and pretend” — or for property owners to simply turn in keys — “jingle mail” — and walk away from properties.What also was different then, he said, was the economic fallout was far more gradual than what’s unfolding today.

Conservative underwriting and excess capital reserves puts us in a comfortable position to execute the business plan despite the current situation. 

He even agrees with what I'm saying but he always downplays it claiming he's comfortable with where he's at and doesn't care to make anymore money.

In your opinion, for marketing: do you think a wholesaling website that portrays a message of urgency and “sell fast” and looks like every other wholesaling website, but has nothing to build a trust factor will work better than a website focused on client relations & reputation (having multiple social media accounts to grow trust factor) but doesn’t have the typical cliche content you normally see on a “we buy houses” website.I am trying to be different, and build a brand that people feel comfortable working with, but after seeing some other websites am wondering if it doesn’t have the same likelihood of people “taking action” to submit their information.I plan to start a direct mail marketing campaign soon and will reassess after, but I was curious to know if the website even matters.Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

I haven't rented a unit without meeting the tenants but we all may need to start getting comfortable with this.
