Obviously credit is going to still play an important role.

Not saying you'd want to go that route of course, but playing catch up on your mortgages is better than panic selling.

Not sure how those two market forces might play out.

Certain kinds of tenants are always looking for weird power plays. 

For that reason for larger purchases, like 20+ units, I will wait another month or two to see how things play out.

I may have gotten a slightly better deal had I gambled but It’s not worth the risk of not refinancing earlier.

I think we will have access to many more deals, but they may have to be long plays to close later.

Costco plays a big part.

It sounds like you obtain an attorney just in case the tenant wants to sue you for something, if you have an attorney already you are not playing catch up at that point.

I also have some STRs along the coast, and when you compare the cash flow from a long term rental versus a short term rental, you'll see that the STR play will increase your cash flow 2-3x.
