For me, I'm just going to maintain a holding pattern and hope my tenants don't get sick and lose income and put me in a tight position.

That way if househacking doesn't go well or I'm not ready to be a landlord, I'm not losing as much because I'm not getting too emotionally attached to that kind of growth.

Not only did people lose their life savings, but they also lost all access to credit.

We had planned on using money we have in stocks but with the market tanking it doesn’t make sense to lose on that front either. 

My understanding is/was that on Fannie Refis, the rate lock is essentially a lose-lose scenario for the borrower.  

I'd hate to have to pull all my funds and pay interest on it at this time, but I would be more disappointed to lose access entirely.

There are tax benefits aside from staying out of jail and losing audits.

having a bunch of rentals with only 20% equity in a buyers market is NO equity its negative equity in most instances.. so its a false net worth really.that all said NOT everyone is going to lose their job.. so I don't think you will see vacancies of that magnitude and I think we just all have to stay afloat for the next 3 to 4 months. 

Instead of letting the market correct itself naturally with loses, the government does the opposite by injecting cash into the sector and removing all the bad debt from the situation. 

I wouldn't want to forgive money owed and lose out on getting it a few weeks/months from now.
