We looked at several properties recently (practicing strict social distancing protocols of course, now that showings are once again considered an essential activity here) and the wife has got me thinking because she says farmhouse chic and rustic industrial themes have been done to death recently and are already “so passé, like peaked in 2016”.

Of course your primary mortgage would be forgiven ( if you owe money) and you might get partial relief from your rental property mortgage through a government fund ( I’m sure minimal paperwork).The bill would require full payment forgiveness, with no accumulation of debt for renters or homeowners and no negative impact on their credit rating or rental history.This bill should obviously be a nightmare for anyone owning rental property which is pretty much all BiggerPockets users. https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-ilhan-omar-introduces-bill-cancel-all-rent-and-mortgage-payments-during

For example, I know I want to see paperwork on inspections, deferred maintenace (if any), and tenant occupancy history.

Filling out tax paperwork and doing it correctly requires expertise but understanding how taxes are calculated and figuring out (roughly) what you owe isn’t that hard.

You essentially hire AirBnB to market your rental and they start acting like they own it.All because of a virus with a 99.9% survival rate, but that's for another thread.

I would like to hire individual(s) to essentially "drive for dollars" to find and photograph potential properties.

While the federal government quickly offered forbearance options to many homeowners last month, assistance for most renters has been more varied by city and state.Landlords say rent payments are essential for them to pay their mortgages, taxes and building-maintenance costs.Almost 90% of apartment households paid all or at least part of their April rent by the 19th, a lower rate than normal, according to the National Multifamily Housing Council.Cosmopolitan Houses’ general manager, Steve Stadmeyer, said most of the complex’s tenants paid their rent in April and that staff has been directing tenants to programs that can help them financially.

It will cost some money every few months for the lawyer to re-submit the paperwork to track them down and garnish their check.

I'm leaning towards the purchasing of "essential" small-businesses (like micro) mom & pops that were on the margins before this and just aren't able to handle the stress of this current situation and want out. 

Lower end markets are being hit FIRST. but I think they will rebound quicker and easier then the mid-high end markets. for instance the people who are employed in those lower end markets are also some of the highest rate of "essential" workers. so I think what will happen is the mid-high end markets are going to suffer from lack of consumer spending that will likely come from wage loss from people in those 2 lower classes. the owners of those consumer goods and services will suffer.
