So I thought it might be helpful to share some thoughts on best dealing with this and also get some thoughts on dealing with it as well since things at home can still break, or weather can still cause issues despite much of the world temporarily shutting down. 

This downturn will be a huge test for this asset class to see if it has legs to remain in the 1 point and single digit interest rate world. 

With companies all over the world laying off how many closings will get cancelled by the lender a few days before?

Lets be sure to look like total asses to the world during this human crises. 

I could be wrong, and I hope I am, but I don't believe the world will financially go back to how it was Jan 2020 even when businesses open up again. 

I want to give all the flexibility in the world but if it comes down to my having to pay my lenders (who I have a moral obligation to pay back as they put their trust in me with their capital), and my staff (who run my business, without them I'm dead), *OR* pay a tenants rent for them? 

If that's something you're interested in let me know, I have a lot of connections in the remolding world in the Seattle metro area. 

In light of what's going on in the world though I am considering purchasing a home to live in.
