I have had good luck in Colorado with "portfolio loans". 

We have 25 units in Pueblo, Colorado and 10 units in NE Ohio.

Naively  I purchased a town house through a co-op here because the price was cheap (55,000) but unfortunately the more I’ve researched it, I’ve learned they won’t let me sublet or rent out the unit when I’m done here, So when I move I have to sell.

Easy answer, the governor knows that most of these folks will never pay this rent.Why not increase the funding for their HUD/Section 8 type housing co-pays for this period? 

I’d love to get into commercial development in the future and partner up with a construction co to build on land I’ve rezoned with the city.

As a essential worker I still have to report.

We always have a shortage of employees in the summer so they typically hire JV workers from foreign countries.
