But if you are ok with the extra information and that wont hold you back from starting, then go ahead!

Let's put it this way, I've never heard anyone suffering adverse consequences from disclosing truthful facts.

If they are not good, they will suffer the consequences of the bad reputation they will develop - something easily enabled by the many online review options for displeased clients/tenants.

Not the first time. wont be the last. whatever.

.- Folks who are low on cash - Folks who do not trust you to give them security back or had some kind of incidents in the past with another landlord- Folks who caused damage to your apartmentIf they have low cash, ask them to at least pay half rent for the last month, if they believe you wont return them deposit remind them about your great relationship and explain that you do not have any reason to withhold deposit after move-out, for folks who could have caused damage to your apartment I would recommend conducting an inspection ASAP to see if there was damage done and confront them about it asap.

I say this because on Friday, Governor Newsom signed an emergency bill that extends the eviction moratorium through June for California tenants suffering financial hardship because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In other words, you can buy more property if you were house hacking than you could just to live in.That said, if you walk into most banks, they wont know about this and will give you wrong information. 

Let's say you get a list together of homes you want to see, you can spend your time calling them all and trying to get in touch with them all and getting them to meet you to show you the house individually, or you can have your agent make all those calls, figure out how to show them all to you and do it in one day, without your agent you wont see them all in one outing. 

I do want to add that there are multiple accredited investors in Biggerpockets that operate in the DMV area and since the market here is fairly high and competitive cash wont necessarily guarantees that you will get a good deal or good people to put a deal together (cash will get you a good realtor but that's about it).
