You say he is temporarily laid off, has he been given a date he will be returning to work yet?

However it is $5000 below the previous appraisal done within the last 6 months (I was not told the date of it).

The other thing that is critical is that you have a mortgage authorization for the loan so you can talk to the lender/mortgage company at anytime to get up to date information.

What are you using to keep your lease end dates organized? 

Exception being very dated finishes and dilapidated items. 

I'm not seeing a slow down with buyer's (I'm an Agent as well) however there is a different approach to stirring up the interest which is all virtual, so plan for 3-D Virtual Tours, Virtual Open Houses, etc. 

If you had $20,000 in bookings cancelled, what will you do when some of those dates are booked again, thereby erasing that loss?

For us, rent is due on the 1st, if they move in more than a week before or after that date I collect the full month's rent and prorate the second month, that way I collect as much as possible up front.Your contractor should be able to work during certain hours (8 am to 7 pm where we are), so while it may be a nuisance to the neighbor as long as it is during permissible work/noise hours then they really can't do anything but complain. 

If you do interior, it could be a good time to be doing inside and outside virtual tours for listings that no one can see as long as you are allowed to.

Most of the inquiries expect to take a tour at the house.
