As a heads up, this is straight from the Municipal Courts;The Philadelphia Municipal Court's landlord-tenant officer will not perform any evictions for a two-week period beginning on Monday, March 16.

So we're staring at several months that are normally when our busy season start ramping up... and we have no income at all, and some substantial overhead (mostly in terms of mortgage payments)While we have even discussed turning these properties into LTRs, I fear that in the current climate in NYC, this is not the time period to start a LTR contract.The only idea that I've come up with so far, is to list the properties at a substantial discount for week-to-month long chunks, and to advertise through alternate sources like Craiglist.

@Bernard Laureus You may be able to negotiate on discount points, prepay penalty, or title insurance costs.

Then, you creatively find a way to Approach and ask to Buy the House from the Owner (we’ll cover this in a future post)· AuctionsPretty straight forward, Auction Houses place “Distressed Properties” up for bid.

The United States dollar will be king during the recession to buy heavily discounted real estate

You could try to pay someone else to do the showings or ask the existing tenant if they are willing to do so for a discount in the rent. 

Let's say you bought the property at a 30% discount with repairs.

We’ve made our fair share of mistakes along the way, we’ve had some investments that have straight up flopped and we’ve had some, let’s call them, difficult tenants.

Return to investors or just a straight profit split.
