Shelter in place means if you are not and essential employee driving to work, or someone going out to get groceries, medicine, or emergency supplies you can be fined. 

I do worry about the tighter lending restrictions around FHA slowing down the market more than just the general demand and supply.  

How can I find information about "rent by the room" regulations if they exist?

My question is since I work in Europe and my work causes me not to live there for a big part of the year, would I still be inside of the FHA rules and regulations as using it as my primary residence?

While the HCV homeownership regulations contemplate a downpayment grant option (where the PHA offers a single downpayment assistance grant to the family instead of a monthly homeownership subsidy), funding has not been appropriated for this purpose and this regulatory provision has never been implemented.https://www.hud.gov/program_of...Please don't take this reply as some sort of "I'm right and you're not" scenario.I am sincerely appreciative of your feedback. 

It’s all about supply and demand.

The buyer pool has been cut in half, but so has the inventory, balancing out the supply-demand. 

Possibly an increase/flood of LTRs hitting the market soon or within the next year with an impact to supply/demand and rental rates?

It is completely a supply and demand issue. 

@Kris Russell I filled two of my units in the last 3 weeks BUT my market has almost no supply and extremely high demand so it depends on your local market.
