In the event any of my tenants were let go, I would do my best to help them find jobs as even in my main market, which is somewhat depressed, I know people who are always hiring good workers.

It has been a nightmare, simply put.I was in the same situation you find yourself in a couple of years ago, where I had a pretty good full-time job, but wanted to have backup income, or if you will, a plan B in the event that work just didn't work out. what I did was saved up some capital, and got into a multifamily house hack and lived rent free for sometime until I was ready to make another purchase.

This is  a pandemic - the type of event that brings out the best in humanity - if one is human to begin with:) Alexandra, Real Estate agent, artist, republican and hard working tenant.

It could be the timing and current events - our city has community spread, so everyone is probably using social distancing right now.

The trending topics are flooded with concerns based on current events, and understandably so.

It is my understanding that the borrower gets a risk rating and each loan gets a risk rating and certain events can cause you or the loan be moved into a more or less riskier category and that that could impact how your loan is viewed and treated by the bank.When I asked questions, I kind of got the impression that the risk evaluation and underwriting criteria were confidential and not generally disclosed.

Its hard to weed them out but the communication can often give you enough to base a gut-feeling on.Instant Book is supposed to rank higher but I am not sure anyone can verify that.Based on recent events, you want to think long and hard about AirBNB.

What they can and should offer you is good and qualified tenants, no matter voucher or market renters, who have escrowed funds such as last and security in the event that something does come up to supplement your potential loss. 

@Jacob George Lada sorry to hear of the unfortunate event.

After watching events unfold these past few weeks, I'm glad I held off a bit on the purchase!
