As an agent that works with many investors, I think communication and showing commitment are the most important.

If they don't at least pay it out now, they WILL face eviction eventually, and they DON'T want that on their credit.We can communicate our expectations and be patient in working things out in mutual good faith.

To get added to my list, I have to have had some personal communication with them, depending on how we met. 

There is also typically access laws regarding rentals, meaning you as LL cannot just walk through a house you have a tenant in unannounced and outside of emergency issues, and this extends to people you invite onto the property, i.e. contractors or in this case Airbnb guests.If it is not illegal, then it just becomes clearly communicating with potential tenants and Airbnb guests, so the Airbnb guests are not trying to walk into the front door of the LTR. 

prior to signing, the confidence that is communicated at that point goes a long way to showing that you are a no b/s business person. 

If not making payments, are they at lease communicating with you?

Most are able to pay a good junk of the balance and whatever remains we are offering a payment plan when back to work with no penalty.All we are asking of these tenants is that they communicate with us. 

It's the authentic touches of communication that you build the relationship with clients year after year.I use clientlook but nothing amazing.

They conversely can still be lending but change the rates and terms for new market risk profiles post Covid.With the communication appearing poor and the lender cooling off to your requests it doesn't look good.

Broader question - has anyone been approved for EIDL loan yet or received an communication?
