Thanks ahead.

The desperate ones also seem to be the ones that want weekly draws which is a surefire way to get ahead of them for work performed.Lastly, as was seen in the last recession, there was a drop, then boom in rehab projects. 

If its a job that will likely continue, go ahead and rent. 

Why are people assuming unemployment money is going straight to landlords.   

This is really what I see as worst-case utility scenario in Old Town but it's what I use to conservatively estimate my actual cash flow.Thankfully, these are all factored into my cash-flow ahead of time, so it all works out, but I do have plans to upgrade windows, insulation, heat system, etc. eventually.

Ask yourself, why you are moving before you have your old house sold and if that's the best move if there is uncertainty ahead in the market.

One on lease end day, but more importantly one 90 days ahead to get the conversation going on renewal or release. 

Figuring in the cost for skilled labor to the rehab may put me ahead in time and quality.

By the time I purchase my rental property I will have 20% so should I go ahead and get the conventional loan so I don't have to worry about PMI? 

There is no one magic rule that can be applied to all situations regarding rent payment during the months ahead.
