Every state is impacted but glad to see that Texas is on the lower end of the spectrum.Comparing each state’s average weekly jobless claims totals over the last three weeks to the week before shutdowns started occurring, reveals the top states showing the largest percentage spike in unemployment benefit applicationshttps://l.facebook.com/l.php?

If unemployment is high or median income is low you should skip it.

I thought this was prudent considering over 20m people are unemployed now.4.

Though many of us have collected rents in April, now that May 1st is rolling around and a lot has happened in April (with stimulus checks, the SBA PPP program, EIDL, unemployment etc) and also all sorts of information being thrown around such as rent forgiveness, rent strikes etc.

My question is now with all the covid 19 going on, the way the market in general is moving and the increase of unemployment which can affect future buyers. 

The landlord was lazy and did not fulfill his duties.If you have a good tenant who is out of work then they will use their unemployment and/or will catch-up in their future payments.Screening, screening, screening.

Well, April's rents were all paid, and the stimulus checks and unemployment benefits (with $600 bonuses) have gone out since then.

If you choose a midwest market with low unemployment and other driving factors...I don't see how you can lose. 

Our goal is for both of us to be able to quit our jobs in the next 5-7 years, however since I'm already unemployed and the job market is a little bit bleak right now, maybe now is the time to go all in and use the license to also generate income??
