I have a couple of tenants that I inherited with large deposits, in normal circumstances I would just return it at the end of 6 months but now for those tenants that are weaker, I'll probably credit them the 5% and hold the extra money for another year due to coronavirus eviction moratoriums.

I assume you took it for your last residence...What you do will definitely depend on your personal circumstances.

It is all "facts and circumstances" evaluation if the IRS decides to take a closer look.

Wondering if people have any tips for selling under the current circumstances.

But if I do, this is the path I want to take barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Its in the hands of another broker now to close, it just took me for suprise but you all are right there definitely could be extenuating circumstances people want to keep private. 

PenFed, TD Bank and in normal circumstances, US Bank.

In certain circumstances, an investor doesn't want to be a landlord anymore, maybe they can't find replacement property or maybe they don't want to deal with any of the issues associated with being a landlord. 

It would have been much better if you had given notice of your circumstances changing closer to Aug 3rd so that the landlord had more time to rerent it. 

You may have a shot at a lower price considering the circumstances.
