Unfortunately, with a lot of people being laid off, tenants and landlords will likely need to work out a payment plan where the rent is discounted for the month of April due to financial hardship.

If you’re not in the area often then yes, long term rentals may provide more stability for you.Either way, I do recommend that you buy based on reasonable long-term rent #s, not AirBNB #s, since you may not be able to do AirBNB if you’re not actively living in the property.As far as $2500-$3000 per month, if you mean gross rents then yes I think that’s do-able if you have decent-sized and -condition units and especially if you have 3 units with at least 2 beds per unit.Management fees are usually a percentage of collected rents, which is probably also true in NYC. 10% is “common” but some property managers may charge more or less depending on what services they offer, how many units they’d be managing for you (think quantity discount) and what you can negotiate.

Just a heads up I noticed Lowes were severely discounting all their in-stock Diamond Caspian cabinets.

I also have this person/company inspect and treat my house + my parents house so he gives me a superb discount plus we are on great rapport. 

Do you think it's practical to ask Grocery stores to give discounts on food whenever someone is having a tough time?

I doubt we're seeing that kind of discount in direct real estate right now.

There’s still a lot of money out there but buyers are looking for what seems to be an automatic 10% discount and sellers are willing to wait 30-60 days to not sell at that discount.

If the County says that I can't raise their rent then the lease is still broken and I will throw that house on the market at a discount to be through with being a landlord in CA.

What would be much better is providing funding for hosts for the additional supplies or future credits/discounts on fees for participants in the program. 

The second option is to straight up do private money financing with 25% down.
