Read a lot of bad news about NYC especially Manhattan, which has a serious problem with vacancies and declining rent (as much as 25%). 

The good news if you have a government backed mortgage is you can call your servicer and request a deferment or forbearance.  

However, the good news for real estate investors is that the long road to recovery has started.

Great news, I'll be there!

I'm wondering if the BP community can give me some insights on how the news on these developments has impacted the general real estate scene in Austin, especially the surrounding areas of these projects?

@Melissa Bovee  As a fellow Tahoe investor, I can understand your dilemma regarding swapping your service providers as it often feels like you are on a tightrope with what you might get once you 'break the news'. 

I wouldn't be quite as worried about what the housing market will fare (of course, but at a later time), the more important issue is how the governments are reacting to the covid situation, how the markets (equities) are reacting to the government & covid, and then also the news of a potential political landscape shift on November 3. 

Just came on the news wire, apparently nation-wide.
