I've been doing my taxes this way for a few years and I always feel uncertain if I'm do cost basis and depreciation schedules properly.

Things go wrong, if you don’t have the proper demeanor or team and you hate it find a pm.  

Seeing what is happening in Europe and the US government unfortunately not reacting quickly, but trying to let thing be as normal as possible for as long as possible - which might make things worse in the long run.

Grace but don't be too soft hearted - we don't run non-profits.I bet unemployment wont cover all their rent and food etc.. in my mind landlords should be coming up with a plan.. the we are not charity is not going to play well .. flip side is your investors you knew the risk you took counting on someone else ( tenant to pay your bills) thats why proper reserves are a necessity in the rental business.. for situations like this.. this should be no issue to a landlord who has proper reserves.. 

So then last point if you as a landlord cant afford 1k one time in the course of a year then your not properly capitalized and you might want to re think your safety nets.

It seems to me that the majority of people who rent to pet owners do avoid the major damage if they are doing their own due diligence when it comes to screening properly, making your properties as pet proof as possible, quarterly or at least bi-yearly inspections, etc. 

I'm wondering how both sellers and buyers are reacting to what's going on.I'm a very lucky person. 

I have recently scaled back my fish keeping life in order to save money and to save time (proper maintenance, especially when you are aquascaping takes up quite a bit of time!)
