@John s@John Smith, in this unchartered economic territory, the truth is nobody really knows anything.  

Economic growth, new jobs, schools popping up that you know of? 

I choose to invest in larger buildings simply because I know it is economically more efficient to hire a manager for 75+ units vs a fourplex.

During economic downturns, it's been pretty common in the last few decades for investors to buy up old high-quality brick homes in areas near the urban core and convert them to duplexes or rooming houses, and then Section 8 them out.

But I'm thinking about negotiating with the realtor with a steep discount in order to generate a positive cash-on-cash return (20% discount price), given the current economic situation. 

My question is would You as the landlord be held responsible if the water cause health problems to your tenants.

 We are looking at putting together  a simple, repeatable, improvable, standardized, simplified, optimized, economized multifamily project designed to be modular.  

There's no play book on this...we're all in this alone when it comes to the economic side of this shutdown. 

Do you understand the economics of the transaction and how money should flow in and out?

I wouldn't want to deal with a tenant like this in a shaky economic situation that could drag on for months.
