You can ask for the building to be delivered tenanted if it has some units vacant which would make vacancy less of an issue for you and secure the property more until things shift back to normal conditions. 

You did it exactly right-- I just say it so anyone else reading this thread understands that this is all normal.

Not heart broken to miss a normally good deal this week! 

But you're not just going to flip a switch and have things back to normal.  

As many of you … I have more doubts than certainties during this new "normal" of staying apart from each other and avoiding gatherings.Based on that, how are you (or are you) looking for deals still?

Maybe 6 months to feel normal.

Homeowners will get a lot of help with their mortgages thats a given.. but you still have inherited etc.. so i have to think there are going to be a few more motivated folks than normal its just how do you get to them. 

However, if they usually pay by a certain date and it goes a few days past that date, and they haven't contacted the landlord.... it would be normal and customary to reach out to them. 

A payment plan with slightly more generous terms than normal,  providing some groceries.

normally would have wrote it myself, but anyway it was only $4 bucks. https://neatolandlordforms.com/downloads/coronavirus-covid-19-tenant-notification-letter/
