Congrats on getting started in investing :-)  There are certainly lots of folks out there who have done well with student rentals.. if you haven't already, be sure to check out episode 220 of the BP podcast for a good discussion on the topic.I think you can do really well if you have a good understanding of the demand for student rentals for the given university, and especially if you have some confidence that your property would be appealing to other members of the community as well, in case you have any issues with renting to students. 

I have the flexibility to travel around and was looking into taking a minimum of a 2 year contract either in Hawaii (downtown Honolulu) or Guam.

If you’re confident in the current price, you could hold at the price you agreed to and tell the buyer to come out of pocket for the rest (if they’re willing/able).Or, if they’re not willing, cancel the agreement and sell to another buyer at the original/higher price (assuming you have a buyer willing to pay it).Or finally, agree to come down on your price to make the sale happen with the current buyer.

I was in USA twice in 2010 and 2011 as a student via Work n Travel program and worked as a lifeguard.

Hopefully they will work out, I prefer to meet in person if possible but this isn’t the first time we’ve used this process even before Corona, so I’m confident in it.

During my day to day travels (Yes I'm considered Essential for some reason) the decline of people out doesn't seem very changed, if anything its minuscule.

I travel extensively for a living and most of it is international travel and I get reimbursed for all of the expenses so I am looking for a retirement focused cash back credit card...AND...it needs to have no foreign funds transaction fees.I know that I do not want a card that offers "points" or some other gimmick...I just want the money that will be placed into my retirement account automatically each statement.Is there such a credit card?

The tenants wint pay a penny later. depending on asset class totally agree.. any lost rent is lost for good in the service work force housing sector.. white collar maybe not.I seldom disagree with Jay, but I am confident that a mass majority of our C class tenants will make good on any rent they are short through this crisis. 

I was military too, I remember those days ;)  On the flip side, you have to travel all of a 30 second walk to address any issues that might arise. 

Looking for advice...I don’t know if legal is the route to go (I’m not confident they have any money), or to just do the repairs and take it as a learning experience.
