With Covid-19 everything has become more complicated, including with tenants, and being flexible may be the best approach unfortunately, due to the pandemic.

I had a rental house in Kansas City come vacant in January and hired a handyman ..in process of trying to become a contractor (he had recently formed an LLC company)... to replace some tiles and paint...simple job and nothing complicated.

Whether one is talking deaths or major complications, if the total number of cases is 10-85 times higher as these antibody tests are showing, that RADICALLY changes the picture.

-- Sorry but it doesn't make sense to me.... dealing with Cities for building permits, sourcing material and dealing with subcontractors is a much much much more complicated then buying a house or a small multifamily to renovate and rent.

Do whatever the heck you feel will move the process along efficiently while minimizing as much unnecessary back and forth between you and seller as possible.A.K.A. | If you were running a business and you had to sell a consumer a product, and you couldn't physically meet them somewhere, how would you go about it?

@Benjamin Obeng well, every layer of complication means a local lender will be increasingly better to help you. 

The reverse exchange is relatively complicated and expensive. 

They have so much work now (some 16 crews on the road), the owner had to hire a project mgr "guy" to run the more complicated day to day tasks that the two office people couldn't do.So, you see doing real estate can be a fun hobby to do when you aren't working. 

Plus a whole bunch more that I won't bore you with.There is no reason to make this so complicated.

I recommend that your liability insurance more than cover all your assets.That asset protection program is way too complicated for me, my eyes are glazed over.
