Normally, we just go over and introduce ourselves, but the Coronavirus killed that.

My guess is that applications will return to normal once we all return to our normal.

You can ask for the building to be delivered tenanted if it has some units vacant which would make vacancy less of an issue for you and secure the property more until things shift back to normal conditions.

As many of you … I have more doubts than certainties during this new "normal" of staying apart from each other and avoiding gatherings.Based on that, how are you (or are you) looking for deals still?
