So, if tenants, potential tenants or potentital Airbnb guests haven been laid off or just have seen their wages/hours reduced, I'd expect:a) lower rents (therfore lower ROI, regardless of leverage)b) increased bargaining power for tenenatsc) higher vacancy rates, specially for vacation rentals or mid-term rentals (remember, corporates are already in wartime economics, so sending teams abroad will not be a must)The sales markets is basically frozen.

Maybe I just have a big box/subpar servicer, but I did state the hardship was due to vacancy/future rent issues/loss of income. 

When I account for taxes, vacancy, and management expenses on top of maintenance and upkeep, I'm wondering how many landlords are able to actually profit well from their properties using reasonable financial estimates.

My thought is that something like finding a property with house, that has basement w/ separate entrance to be able to rent to tenant to cover capital, insurance capEx, vacancy, etc.

A good rule of thumb is 30% between vacancy, repairs, and capex.

However, the town it is located in has a population of about 1,300 with no thriving metropolitan area within 100 miles, which gives me concerns about finding future tenants and higher than average vacancy rates.

Be sure to use a rental calculator for those additional expenses (CapEx, repairs, vacancies, etc).

That’s going to decrease the vacancy rate and increase rent on the vacancies that do exist.”A record number of 74,021 Floridians filed for unemployment for the week ending March 21.The top five high-risk metro areas with a large population deemed to work in “non-essential” industries includes: Las Angeles with 25.5% of its population, Orlando with 16%, Miami with 15.9%, Riverside with 14.3% and Oklahoma City with 14.1%.The metro areas with the smallest population deemed to work in “non-essential” industries includes: Minneapolis and Boston with 9.6%, Detroit at 9.4%, Milwaukee with 8.4% and San Jose with 7.7%.

You will definitely want to factor more economic vacancy right now, 12-18 months reserves per current lending requirements, lower LTV  and much lower rent growth, depending on the asset and location, if any at all during this time as we will see more and more rent controls coming out of this situation.

Vacancy 2% lowYou are going to need probably another 5% down payment.No rehab?
