I won't go into any more detail as it won't help the cause but just make your voice heard and I wish you all the best during these times.

Focus on your tone of voice and make you intro short but clear. 

@Jason Allen - Cant comment on that , but do feel, like all things in life, sometimes the loud and sensational voices get immediate attention - and thats ok .

Videos are really helpful, they not only answer questions for potential sellers but also put a face/voice with a name. 

Give me a call and if I don't pick up or send you to voicemail with a text reply because I am on a phone call, leave me a voice message with your number and I will return your call.

By the year, you mean for the academic year, not calendar year. 

I actually attended a REIA meeting last year (I won't say where) in which the presenter, the "voice of experience" for that group, got up and encouraged investors to endure negative cash flow for up to 3 years on the insane promise of inevitable wealth and riches to be made sometime in the future.Made me sick to my stomach to watch.

We are lucky that the government stimulus package will help us with the immediate expenses, but that is not all we can do.On our side, we have called the office of the president, our state reps in the Federal government, our state elected officials, even our local officials to add our voice to the effort and push for some relief (soon!).

I have reached out to quite a few community banks but I am at the mercy of voice mailboxes right now as most of them are shut down.
