Does anyone have any thoughts on if that would be effective in preventing further movement of the brick/worth it?

Even if you get 1 out of 25 offers accepted, it could have a huge effect on your business. 

It's devastating and it will effect our ability to get the $120,000 down.Being that I put this under contract when the economy was great, and now its quite obvious that commercial real estate values will be plummeting, is it reasonable to renegotiate this deal?

What do you think the effect will be on rental ownership and what are some of you doing to prepare? 

Social media can be effective if you can get your follower count up, which is not easy and happens by engaging with others and posting good content.

There will be a spill-over effect from all that development (largely luxury rentals and big-brand commercial) for home-owners/house-hackers, because the tide lifts all boats.

A lot of people are still in denial that this is going to significantly effect the real estate market.

I have less and less confidence in out Government's ability to effectively manage this volume money distribution.  

These are the major inputs assumptions: $90,000 purchase price and $18,000 down for 80% Loan-to-Value.3.9% rate, 30 year amortization Scheduled monthly rent of $1000.Conservative annual expense load of ~4950 (43% of Effective gross income).Investor effective tax rate of 15% and annual depreciation expense of $2500.Projected Year 1 returns are as follows: (1) Pre-tax cashflow ~$2568 (14.27%), After-tax cashflow $2365 (13.14), After-tax return + principle pay down $3655 (20.30%) and Total Return (After-tax + pay down + appreciation-1.5%) $5005 (27.80%). 

An effective way to understand that I've found is to set yourself a firm budget and put it into the search criteria on Redfin, start hearting or x ing out everything that looks like it would be a nice place to live, once you finish you can zoom out on the map and see where you have clusters of faded out bad houses and clusters of hearts, most cities I've done this with end up giving you a pretty good pattern.
