Do we really only need to be concerned with zoning to be able to start the project or are there other things we need to account for to be able to take on this project (other than normal finding a builder to partner with etc...3.

I'm letting this whole virus and gov shut down situation be a 'wake up' call to retweek and fine tune my business and personal life.There's a lot of discussions about helping renters or 'rent forgiveness and eviction blocking laws ' where there's not much to do about our expenses as housing providers.

@Jared CrockerHi Jared,Are you asking about the EIDL loans that have been in the news or just normal standard SBA 7a loans?

Then after things settle now and normal start to appear again then I would start to look into real estate again.

Brookfield Properties Retail Group, the owner of the mall, did not return a request for comment.With hospitality and retail taking some of the hardest hits in the wake of coronavirus, it is unlikely hotels and retail properties will be able to make the balloon payment expected of them at the end of the lease terms, Phoenix commercial real estate experts agree.

As virus subsides in a few months hopefully and we get back to normal then maybe lenders calm down some.I am still closing retail deals and busier than ever.

Is that normal on an investment property?

There's a chance you won't find a deal that works until later in the year, when life is (hopefully) back to normal. 

Cut the grass, do exterior maintenance like you normally would.2 Weeks seems a long time to "get it ready to market" if it was fully rehabbed. 

I pay a small payment to have my cash so they can’t keep it from me.Now I’m hoarding cash until it blows over and can immediately put my funds back to use when I’m ready and don’t have to wait for the banks to wake back up.
