I know they've already reached out to family and they have now confirmed they will help if needed, so it feels comforting there is a plan b, but I was willing to step in if that wasn't the case.

Because there is more than one exit strategy I feel comfortable moving forward with the deal regardless of the market however my first option would be to flip these homes to a residential buyer and move the capital into larger deals.

Certainly if you felt more comfortable with an accountant doing so, you could also do that.The last thing I would point out is if the tenant asks for clarifications on your reconciliation calculations, then you may need to go back to the seller to get receipts, utility bills, etc.

I'm ideally looking for something within an hour of Boston - areas I'm most comfortable with would include Framingham, Worcester, Haverhill, Attleboro, Salem, and Providence.

As long as honest, well-intended landlords can still make an income while providing a comfortable home for people who need it, I'm happy!  

I use models from tsmfinancialmodels.com and I just export out of costar and paste into the model and it updates automatically...then I just need to make sure I am comfortable with the costar comps.

If it was me i'd be comfortable with 6-8 months at least for reserves. 3 months is risking it and with everything going on we won't know the extent of unemployment, economy, etc til Summer.

We manage in town, but I don't feel comfortable enough to purchase in NB myself.

The live in daughter decided since she was the only child to take care of mom she should be the only one to benefit from the sale of the house so she listed it for sale, found a buyer and conveyed it as AIF using the POA and deposited the proceeds in a bank account held jointly by mom and the live in daughter. 

My problem is I have not been able to walk through a property in person due to owners not being comfortable with the current social restrictions.
