All you're doing by offering these incentives upfront is expressing you're in panic mode to your Tenants and giving those who would have paid you in full the chance not to do so.We are only in April, the pandemic really only started on March 8th -- what about May and June when people have now been out of work for over a month? 

And if that’s the “norm” there is a chance this doesn’t go as deep as people think.

I'm leaving that open as an option, but I'd rather try to go local first just because I think I'll have a better chance of being able to manage the property. 

We were considering selling prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and I still think there is a chance we could exit and do well. 

I'll get a chance to meet them and form a first impression.

With this many properties, the chances of them all requiring large payments at the same time are low.

There is a high chance rents are going down once this is over.

Here's what I've got on local markets around Hartford County, CTThis is by no means an attempt to push anyone into any market, but rather just some generally vague thoughts.Windsor is a great "small town" that generates good cashflow with moderate chances of appreciation (relative to the CT Market)Granby even a smaller town feel than Windsor, rentals are in high demand and rent prices are high.

Above a 50% chance of him not getting a penny back?

If one contractor is 10-20% more expensive from a bid standpoint, but can guarantee he'll finish the job a month faster, there is a chance his/her company will still end up being more cost effective on the whole, all things considered.The last thing I'll mention is reliability.
