The tipping point would be when the average American can't get basics like food, medicine, or shelter and is forced to choose between starvation and death or violence.  

Can’t leave the house.Showings are down because ppl are choosing to only look at top 2-3 homes on their list and not see the “maybes” on the listEducation to clients:May need Pre Approval letter to approve showings of propertiesNo extra ppl at showings (mom/dad/friends/kids)Clause to extend contract for 30 days if lender/title goes out of business to complete closingsCurrent Contract already has some language if title can’t deliver on time (extend 10 days)Can AmendCan terminateStill a Seller’s marketFinding right balance of what buyers should/should not ask for to keep their offers competitiveImportant to let buyers know to try any work together (buyer/seller) to get the deal doneProperties that are priced correctly are still getting immediate showings, multiple offers and going under contract the same day or within a few days.We've already experienced this a few times this week.

It all starts with who you are choosing to finance your deals.

I am very curious to know, if you guys could walk me thru the process it be very appropriate. 1) Rental Property Cash Flow Analysis- Due Diligence: a) The first step to buying a multifamily home is deciding on the right neighborhood to invest in.b) Property condition: Take into account how much time, money and work the property will need in order to be rent-ready. c) Rent roll: Look at the current rents and compare them to the average rents in the area to see what the property should rent for and can help influence your buying decision.d) Revenue & expenses: Look at what rental revenues are coming in and what the current expenses are and see if it makes sense, remember to add in your approximate carrying costs to see if you will be cash-flow positive.e) Vacancy rate: Look for a vacancy rate below 10% and see how long each unit is vacant per year so you can figure that into your carrying costs. f) Loan calculation: Add your loan calculation into your Analysis.2) Work with a RE agent.3) Choose the Right Lender. 

I ask because if they are a comparable price to your units, and they are brand new... this could potentially drive up your vacancy rate, because if someone's going to pay a similar price for two apartments, they will obviously choose the brand new apartments.

We definitely are experiencing fewer properties on the market in Bakersfield due to COVID, but still lots to choose from. 

Choose your contractors carefully, and manage your projects well.

I also realize the lender you choose is going to have some say in this. 3.

These are questions you need to ask yourself when choosing a PM to work with.
