Seems you may be stressing over a non-issue. 

My day of liberation was the day I realized that my stress about bosses, jobs, the recession, etc. was not because those things were real or they sucked - they were, and they did - but because I never fully accepted my responsibility for my predicaments.

So, if tenants, potential tenants or potentital Airbnb guests haven been laid off or just have seen their wages/hours reduced, I'd expect:a) lower rents (therfore lower ROI, regardless of leverage)b) increased bargaining power for tenenatsc) higher vacancy rates, specially for vacation rentals or mid-term rentals (remember, corporates are already in wartime economics, so sending teams abroad will not be a must)The sales markets is basically frozen.

If I was able to put 3.5% down via FHA loan, and utilize much of the rest of capital for rehab, we could increase equity across perhaps 4-5yrs, reduce monthly expenses and begin to see this start turning profit via appreciation, tax benefits, etc. 

Between this, the "normal" seasonal increase of home sellers in the summer (which, when combined, may cause a short-term glut), and the reduced number of buyers able to buy due to current economics, I think prices will go down before they go back up.If you want to discuss this further, feel free to Connect and/or DM me.

So now, I have no job, I’m still waiting for these unemployment checks to show up, so zero income, and will likely have zero rental income in the coming month, and already am receiving significantly reduced rental payments.

Goal: Buy a class A or B multifamily for my family and my extended family while trying to reduce housing costs and build equity in NJ/NY area using a VA loan.Requirements / Wish List1. 2-3 bed room unit for my own family2. 1-2 unit for my extended familiy3. an extra unit for rental income4.

Over the last year, Courtney Buck Investments has been sourcing, raising capital, and investing in the large multifamily space, you may be wondering how we purchase to preserve capital, pay at or above a preferred return, and reduce our investor's taxes.

@Ruchir Kaul Another thing to consider is that with the foreclosure moratorium included as part of the CARES stimulus Act, foreclosures will dry up for at least another 6 months to a year reducing available inventory.

I'm currently negotiating w/ seller to reduce price to between $85k to $90k based on the major rehab costs.Total rehab costs: $31k get it rent-ready.Annual prop taxes: 2,237.72Total rent: Between 1,010 to 1,250 per month for both occupied units, depending on how bad the recession will become later in 2020.Lawn trim, snow removal, gas, electricity, & water: Tenant pays.Property management: I assume 10% of rent, so $101 - $125 a month.NOI per year: $8,670 to  $11,262.Flood insurance: None.Home insurance: $556/year paid outside of escrow.CAP rate: 6.46% to 8.6%.
