Yes the daily news about audits of the PPP program and long term tainting of one's business who got PPP is an interesting issue and damned if you do and damned if you don't situation. 

@Renata Johnson  Great news is your first investment experiences is usually the worst, If you can still get out of this with little loss,  that would be the best bet. 

Yet despite all this news, home prices are going up due to low interest rates and low inventory.

Building a 10 unit duplex project can vary greatly in cost depending on a few factors, but the good news for you is that between T-Town, Stillwater, and OKC there are a number of these types of units going up and the contractors are usually more than happy to talk numbers with you.Keep on keeping on!

That is really good news.  

I told them that timely communication is key and required, and to let us know any good or bad news that comes up.

The good news is my wife is on board if we did decide to move into one half of a duplex should we buy it and decide on that.

Same advice as the others: Listen to your attourney, document everything, do not harass her (see: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/property-manager-accused-of-violating-eviction-moratorium-will-pay-tenants-nearly-300k-settling-states-first-coronavirus-emergency-enforcement-lawsuit/) And file the day the moratorium is lifted.

They need to at least put warning language into the law to deter abuse, and the media needs to mention this when they publish news and commentary about it.

The good news is that raising capital is one thing that you can start on your own, even without partners or without a deal.
