There is guidance on the FHFA site for mortgage modifications and forbearance:https://www.fhfa.gov/Homeownersbuyer/MortgageAssistance/Pages/Coronavirus-Assistance-Information.aspxThis appears to be the revamped HAMP program. 

We do not know yet how many actual renters are affected nor do we know what assistance will be available to anyone laid off or sick.  

Understanding I am not Nostradamus, Ive already started purchasing, and will continue to dollar cost average down for up to a year if we keep going lower.Im spreading out my purchases among safe dividend stocks I already have positions in where the yield is very attractive like KO, AFL, CL, then making some smaller riskier purchases where there is high upside (but also the possibility of the companies going bankrupt) like Reology, Royal Carribean.I bought a few of the Vegas Casino's same thought as the cruise.. but I cant see these building getting mothballed LOL 

If a tenant needs assistance, we will of course work with them.

I'm not sure what part you are looking to purchase but if I can be of any assistance in what you would expect through your transaction(might be slightly different in all states) let me know how I can help! 

I have some inquiries from people on social assistance who indicate they can afford the rent.

Well respected and can either assist or direct you in the right direction.

simply put though Jim just ask the broker to break down the 9% I suspect he is lumping in your seller paid closing costs and being a good agent and prepping you for the fact that the buyers will need a seller assist that comes from your side.if he is charging 9% commission plus fees thats another matter but again on low priced properties I would expect that .. otherwise probably not worth his time and he encourages you to sell them yourself ??

My problem is I am stuck between starting my career as a RE assistant to shadow a successful agent and learn their daily processes or begin in property management to learn all aspects involved in that field.

Get a virtual assistant from Fiverr.com, they can cold call for $3-$5 per hour.
