The ability to use the stimulus bill to bolster cash reserves is enticing, but I personally think it needs to be a well defined process in writing to make sense for me. 
Ray Johnson Los Angeles renters now have 12 months to settle back rent
31 March 2020 | 3 replies
If we assume rent is deferred for 90 days due to current circumstances, that would mean regular monthly payments would be due after those 90 days as well as tenants needing to work with landlords to determine how the 3 deferred payments will be made over 12 months.Not in your market and just speculating based on your post.

7 April 2020 | 1 reply
It's devastating and it will effect our ability to get the $120,000 down.Being that I put this under contract when the economy was great, and now its quite obvious that commercial real estate values will be plummeting, is it reasonable to renegotiate this deal?

Other sourcesI see the same message in many other law firm advisories (here, and here, for example) and in an FAQ put out this week by the FDIC.Again, if you can pay, it might be smart to pay to avoid any risk of a hit to your future credit or lending ability.
Sam Cherry Landlords don't need the SBA for the crisis they need Section 8
24 July 2021 | 41 replies
Tenants who have been approved for unemployment are automatically authorized Section 8 vouchers with online verificationAt the end of the year landlords will receive a 1099-MISC for each property for the amount of rent received which is totally subject to depreciation.At the end of the year tenants will receive a 1099-MISC for the amount of rent paid on their behalf and subject to their tax bracket.This can all be set up online, is totally verifiable, and efficient.When you no longer qualify for unemployment, you lose your section 8 and landlords only qualify for rentals that have unemployed tenants and not those with the ability to pay.Again this can all be done online and is simple for both the Landlord and Tenant to understand.It is also the correct way to do it by the Internal Revenue Code.This SBA Loan program is a complete sham and is being run by the BANKS under guise of the DEPT OF TREASURY.I would get a lawyer opinion before I would do this, because not only are you going to go bankrupt you are going to wind up dealing with the bank secrecy act and treasury regulations in addition to the IRC.WARNING LANDLORDS YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE IF YOU GO THIS ROUTE.
