-Owner is out of the country and doesn't want to file taxes in two countries every year-Original motivation for owning the property is gone-Wants to leave real estate agents out of the equation Some of you may want to know if the numbers make sense.

My experience with the first purchase in the area motivated me to buy a second one.  

That being said, if you ARE in a rush - expiring lease, moving/relocating because of a job, horrible current living situation, etc. now can be a great time to find a deal due to low rates, properties sitting on the market, increased motivation from sellers...It comes down to your end goals and current situation.Best of luck to you moving forward!

At the same time I feel like this is a great time to find motivated buyers. 

And also it's good business practice because if you piss them off and hear about evictions being halted then what's the motivation to pay their landlord anymore Granted no evictions should only apply to those whose jobs were affected, but some tenants may not read the whole article and also we'll see how that plays out during a shelter in place.

I continued to be motivated enough to go for it until recent local "stay-at-home" orders have left me wondering.

I think your why is motivating enough and I can relate in the sense that I want more freedom to do the things that bring me true happiness!

Im shopping now and getting quotes of 90% LTV, but my motivation is mainly getting a better lender with a modernized way of making payments.

I've yet to ascertain the motivations for these sellers. 

Looking at vacant properties is more likely to result in a motivated seller as it means they've move to another place and are carrying two mortgages.
