3 - Internal damage: Again avoiding the possible vandalism issue... but along the lines of what happens if a sink is left on or a toilet is flushed and overflows... causing property damage? 

@Darshil ParikhBuilders warranty doesn’t cover damage by tenants.

(she would physically mail them in).

I am hoping we will all survive both financially and physically (my husband and I are in a high risk age bracket) but we all need to work together to get through the Covid-19 crisis.

Also found out that there were roof deterioration, brick damage on the outside of the home and tile floor damage in a bathroom.

(Insurance should cover issues/damage between roommates such as theft; having renter's insurance).

You have a physical asset that usually appreciates, creates cashflow, and has a large tax benefit. 

As a new investor I would strongly recommend staying local to you where you can physically touch the property.

I'm interested in hearing what others are planning because I'm at a total loss.I have a digital marketing business that focuses on realtors and last week I had no problem selling leads and appointments.This week everyone is saying that they don't want to invest in appointments because they don't know if they will physically be able to show houses because of quarantines or lock-downs.I can't fault their logic so I'm looking for a way to help them in the meantime.

Contacted the property manager because bylaws state damage from a common element (the roof in this case) makes the HOA responsible for repair.
