If you or anyone owns property remember you have 90 days before you enter default so make sure to communicate with your lender and get ahead of things. 

And the others see long term dire straights. 

Also, at this point in my life, i would me much comfortable not living with other people, but of course i think to start off, i would have to househack the first property to get ahead. 

For the 2019 renovation funds, can I take regular depreciation (straight line over 27.5 years) on my 2019 tax return and then accelerate the depreciation schedule once the cost seg is done for my 2020 tax return?

My question is, since I am needing to close ASAP for my loan to still be good, could I go ahead and close and put in the contract that the owner must continue with the eviction?

Compared to other construction projects, self-storage construction is relatively straight forward.

That's a head scratcher for me.

Owning properties is very much a people business at the end of the day opening up lines of communication with tenants may enable you to be able to negotiate with them a bit if times get tough or they may even give you a heads up that they're about to take a financial hit because of all thats going on so that you can create a contingency plan. 

Assuming they say yes, then I would go ahead with the quit claim deed.

While this isn't a great time to physically attend networking events, you're ahead of game by being active on here.
