Also are we going to get paid from these renters or is the government going to pay us.

@Mitch MesserThe South African government has been implementing the same lockdown strategies as in the USA and other leading countries around the world.South Africa has been on lockdown for over a month now.

Rates are low and government-backed loans are still being funded.

If they are government insured loans(fannie,fred) they will have a forbearance. 

Wow unintended consequences of shutting down government.

Can’t you use one of the government programs which help young people buy their first flat?

Its impossible to predict what the government will do.  

Look at migration rate, employment diversity, industry diversity, employment rate, and plans for the city to improve any infrastructure or amenities (call the local governing offices and they will be happy to tell you what's been passed by the city board). 

Hello all,I've found a house I believe could work with a 203k type of loan. its is government owned but in a nice suburb with good bones, a newer roof and seems like asolid starting point.

Say you invested all of your $1M into a deal and something went horribly wrong, like COVID-19 and the government mandated that you couldn't charge your tenants rent.
