I don't want to compromise on credit or income requirements either but I give a few good, verifiable references a lot more stock. 

One good silver lining to the losses on our 401K are these low interest rates, but just like you can't time the stock market, the same can be true of interest rates.

@Parag Doshi  If this is something you think will add value, then do as Marcus suggests and offer to split the professional installation costs and put it in writing that it remains with the unit and they are responsible for maintaining it. 

My guess is that if there are 6 buildable acres, per-unit costs of existing stock is much, much lower than that.

The right sponsor may not have a deal ready when you reach out, but if you maintain regular contact you'll be near or at the top of their list when they do get a deal and need to raise capital.

All that being said, most people recommend only investing money into the stock market that you aren't touching for 5 years.

my non educated guess is we will see some panic.. some investors decide to just hold their cards tight right now.I think landlords may experience some tenants that cant work becasue their jobs are affected not necessarily they are infected .. but they lose hours at vocations that are at risk/  Like cruise industry, airlines  Hotels  convention services those types of things.. and i guess really restaurants.. as the stock market retreats I think that will create some amount of flight to real estate for more stable investments even if its just parking money for low returns. 

With the stock market prices going down right now what are you buying or keeping your eye on?

My own perspective is that rental property should return a premium over the stock market in order to account for the increased risk, lower liquidity, and higher personal involvement.
