This particular tenant wasn’t a professional tenant.

I own a condo (that I rent out to tenants) in a trendy (and expensive) Brooklyn, NY neighborhood and rent a separate apartment in the same building.Recently, I've been contemplating selling my condo and buying a multi-unit property as a way of investing but, more importantly, increasing my passive income/cash flow as I am particularly cash poor these days.

As far as personal qualities goes:1) Quality of workmanship2) Quality of workmanship3) Quality of workmanship4) No Alcohol consumption on the job5) Dependable show ups6) Experience on a particular type of job (if semi-complicated such as countertop installs vs light bulb replacement)7) Doesn't need CONSTANT supervision or granular directions8) Pride of workmanship when finishedI picked these pics off of the internet to illustrate 7) and 8).This guy wouldn't be a good fit for me (although for some people he would) because "You didn't tell me you wanted it smoothed out Boss" or "That's the way it's done", or "That's all you paid for"--isn't what I'm looking for in a workman.Compare the above pic to the one below, that has been completed in a "Neat and workmanlike manner".

Particularly if you put a dollar amount in the "lost rents" section?

So you're suggesting that once I have a property I want, get a lawyer involved and have them draw up the paperwork for the particular deal so I can get the money from her and send it to a title company?

Scott Gottlieb, former head of the FDA, to companies in the NYSE.US will soon have massive testing capacityConfirmed cases will grow exponentially now that testing is finally getting rolled outDon't be surprised to see 1000 confirmed cases in a dayBy the end of April to early May, it will start to plateau (depending on containment behaviors that we are currently living)Schools will be closed for this school yearThe summer heat in the northern hemisphere will help to contain the spread, although it will continue to existEvery reason to believe that the southern hemisphere will experience rapid spread as the weather cools (expect continued travel restrictions)The risk posture will improve in the Fall with the following:Point of care diagnostic (local swab testing everywhere - will allow early detection)Therapeutic antiviral drugs will be available (not a vaccine)Monthly injections of an antibody will be available (not sure what this is), particularly for medical workers and members of nursing homesThe testing capabilities that are getting put in place will provide a massive surveillance system to provide early detection until a vaccine is in placeAll of this will make the virus more manageable until we have a vaccineThe virus is very contagious (more than the flu)10x more deadly than the fluEven without death, the hospitalization rate (15%) and critical care rate (5%) are extremely high (we don't have medical capacity without containment)Mortality rate:1% overall4% ages 60-7010% ages 70-8014% ages >801 in 250 to 1 in 550 for some his age (47) - said "that's enormous"He recommended that his parents stay home for a couple of monthsHe also felt that masks should be produced and mandatedThese bullets are subject to my note taking and I am certainly not qualified in this area.

As you are starting out, particularly in a year when you can move into your second property (most owner-occupant loans require a year of residency), clustering properties near each other and where you live makes your life a lot easier. 

Greetings,My tenants have not (yet) missed any rent, but I'd like to get the process started, particularly since the lease ends 5/31, and would imagine if their situation changes they will just not renew. 

What I've written lately is not particularly helpful, maybe to a handful at best.

Some things I would prioritize in no particular order:Get a W-2 job.
