I'm hoping there's growth in some LCOL areas.

Professionally, the majority of my time is spent on asset management and operational related tasks/skills, re-underwriting previous valuations given the impact of COVID-19, and focusing on price discovery with brokers and colleagues. 

From there, declines will taper off, but I don't foresee any real growth happening for a while.As for pushing off foreclosures, I agree that things will continue to be delayed, but this will also keep uncertainty in the market longer.

I like to work with clients with growth potential and aspirations.

With this in mind, I think best case scenario is that our rental market plateaus for the remainder of the year as we re-stabilize which is a huge departure from the 5-6% rent growth previously forecast for our market in 2020.On the positive side, the industry has been forced to depend on virtual leasing which is already yielding surprisingly positive results.

As my business partner and I both have full time W-2 jobs not in the field of real estate, having our agent has been quite essential in the growth of our LLC's property holdings, as well as finding us off market deals. 

My business partner and I are about to refinance this property and get equity out to start purchasing more properties and accelerate our growth.

(And please don't take the seller's word on whether rent has come in or will come in.)Second, I'm strongly recommending that people discount any current rents by 10-15% when analyzing properties, and base their purchase prices accordingly (and as an investor, your purchase price should absolutely be based on income and expenses and not just what other similar properties have sold for).The reason for this is, rents have gone up and up and up for years, and sooner or later they were bound to start coming down again, just by virtue of the fact that there really isn't a lot of new economic activity or job growth in RI so there's bound to be a limit.

You need to make sure you use conservative assumptions with zero rent growth and higher vacancy, give yourself plenty of time, do not go hard on EMD and include Covid-19 clause.
