Supply increases, demand decreases, defaults without foreclosures (not allowed for now but will be soon enough) will create a new real estate panic Government will require banks to loosen the grips that were put in place after the last crash.....

But it is returning the property...just without the government paying rent.

I got my first deal and super excited however there are several obstacles in my way besides the virus that is locking down all of the government buildings as well as nonessential services within my city, and prohibiting me from filing paperwork on record.

What would anyone expect if the government pushes restrictions for businesses to close?

Before this thread spins out of control into opining on the relative merits of various forms of government and moral outrage at "people today". 

On one hand, my homes are standing vacant so it seems like an incremental cost (utilities, cleaning), on the other it seems like a major slap in the face after they unilaterally overrode our cancellation policies and now have the gall to ask us to make further sacrifices to improve their PR. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, rule orregulation to the contrary, any residential tenant or small businesscommercial tenant in the state that has lost income or has been forcedto close their place of business as a result of government orderedrestrictions in response to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19), shall have all rent payments suspended for ninety daysfollowing the effective date of this act.

@Pete Harper As of last week, I would have told you that you could probably match/beat that rate but on a 30 year fixed rather than the 5/1 ARM for a similar commercial/private product but any loan like this will need to be revisited in the next couple of weeks as non government backed lenders across the country (without exception) will be making modifications to their pricing/guidelines based on the domino effect caused by this stimulus package. 

It seems that a lot of the government's response has been to 'pass the buck' to landlords instead of equally distributing any hardship.

A simple hand-written statement with both of your signatures is sufficient.Personally, my policy is to charge a 25% increase for anyone leasing less than one year.
