I have two single family rental properties and at least one of them will turn over tenants in the next few months (normal attrition, not related to COVID). 

It looks like if you were financially affected by COVID you can pull out $100k from a 401k or IRA without the penalty and can split the tax bill over 3 years.  

Combine that with people fleeing areas like New York and Miami who see the area as a safer haven from Covid.

Every state is behind with permitting, housing Court dockets, etc. due to Covid.

Now that COVID has hit, the Easy permit desk remains closed and they have now replaced this with an online process which can take 2-5 business days.Below is the link on how to do this online; I will send this via PM as well:Interim Easy Permit ProcessNote: You will need to fill out an easy permit application and have it signed by the owner and GC for the project; and you will also need to receive a Letter of Intent from the plumber for the job, listing the scope of work and address, signed and sealed with the plumber's stamp or notarized.

We sold in July, they wouldn't even come in the house when I offered, they said due to Covid.

Now the company is self sustaining even if we are running less than optimal due to COVID, being able to create a business where I didn't need to be there anymore allowed me more time to invest in myself, other streams of income, online marketing, passive investments, and real estate.

Also given covid, you will want to confirm that their business remained viable during it. 

Sweat equity work is only allowed if the borrower has experience for the type of work that the borrower wants to do AND the lender must give you written permission to do it. 99% of lenders did not allow sweat equity pre-Covid and their rules only got stricter after Covid. 

USIP got hit as a result of COVID, but nonresidential construction has not yet felt the impact since it lags by about a half-year.
