78% of American Workers are living paycheck to paycheck (and the 22% who are not are probably not renting).https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2019/01/11/live-paycheck-to-paycheck-government-shutdown/#7977e25c4f10With so many businesses laying people off, and 10 days until the end of the month it's going to get real serious real quick, especially when no evictions are allowed.If you think your renters can afford to "Wrap" the missed month(s) payments into their future payments--78% of them are going to have a tough time keeping that promise and remaining on time and in full with their payments.Section-8 probably won't be hit as hard by this, (it's basically a 2nd parallel US economy) "Cradle to Grave" free government handouts.What are your thoughts on this?

Especially with this pandemic escalating, the demand for affordable housing would go up even higher. 

Once COVID-19 subsides, there is a potential for even more investment by employers in the Austin market, and I would expect those looking for a more affordable cost of living compared to other major U.S. metropolitan areas will still look to move to and buy homes in Austin.Landlords are navigating a temporary moratorium on evictions and current/potential tenants whose employment and income is negatively impacted.

, FAR (floor area ratio which is the max SF for the lot), lot occupancy (how much area can the building take up on the lot), green area ratio or pervious surfaces (a lot of places now require soft scale or where water can collect and not drain to the storm drain), parking requirement per unit (can the parking be offset if near public transportation), affordable housing, any view corridors to preserve, is it a historical neighborhood, minimum size per unit, and any public enhancements required?

I have around 80k to put as a down payment, so I can hopefully afford up to 360k worth of real estate, hoping for 4 doors +.I have done some research and determined the following markets to be hot, with good job growth, and possibly within budget:-Winston-Salem, NC-Pittsburgh, PA (and maybe Indiana, PA?)

I personally like the C class investments so I expect things to work themselves out just fine and possibly have increased demand as tenants look for more affordable housing options.

I gave a 50% credit to all my tenants for april( im small at 10 doors currently), this may be needed for May as well we will see how things go. if you can afford to,consider this. 

My real concern is once I start house hacking that I won’tBe able to find tenants that could afford rent and I’ll be stuck with the mortgage.I live in the dallas Fort Worth area and I’m not seeing many reduced homes on trulia and Zillow but I’m sure properties there are some cheap properties on the mls.

This will tell you how much you can afford and how much is your monthly payments.

If you can afford to keep it mortgage free, I would until we know a bit more about the situation.
