Our (state and city both have the same expiration date) eviction moratorium is set to expire at month end but 1) I expect it to be extended 2) even if it is not extended, there is likely to be a backlog of evictions.Basically, I want as much confidence that our new tenant has been paying their rent and is not taking advantage of any foreclosure moratorium.Good luck and stay healthy.

I'm confident I can make house hacking work while I'm there and renting by the room, however when I start to look at renting as one unit I'm hard pressed to find anything with positive cash flow.
