. :)The only slight difference here is that it's possible Wall Street is flipping out more, or less, than the actual threat of coronavirus would warrant.If you think the media is hyping it up to be worse than it is, that's a vote to lock now before Wall Street realizes they are panicking over nothing.If you think the media is under-stating what we're about to get hit with, float and start stockpiling apocalypse survival equipment.  

We currently enjoy a good/fair market, but I think there are many potential threats to be aware of. 

It is not necessary until you have a threat of loss or lawsuit like previous people have commented.

They are part of the business community and have a voice.In todays world, STR's By Owner have become a threat to local populations and as a result we are seeing all of the new and revised ordinances that restrict or ban the practice. 

Do you perceive them to be a threat to other residents?

Tenants ignore idle threats.  

I would like to pay the tax bill for him as the "down payment" or "option fee" in order to not only secure the property but ensure that they can still live there without threat of being foreclosed on.  

Though this would not be the ideal situation, the real threat is the the property as an individual, especially if you don't have the cash reserve to pay the loan in full when it comes called.And in a sub2 situation, it is pretty easy for the seller to turn around and rat the person out to HUD if it really comes down to it, and show them the sub2 contract.

I'm all about getting rid of these tenants, but the threats are what are stumping me and my property manager.

last night in discussions about the .75 rate cut the idea was forwarded that the feds would not have taken that step were not some big bank under threat of failing.
