Owner loses thousands.3.

I only give them a short time (about 5 days) to meet for the lease signing before they lose their exclusive rights to the unit, so this prevents someone from dragging their feet after they've signed the contract to hold.Once the lease is signed, I take down the ads and send out emails to people in mid-marketing flow letting them know that the apartment has been rented but I will reach out if something falls through.

I feel as though the notes market is in an interesting position right now financially - millions of layoffs, with potentially millions of people losing their homes.

@Jetmir Arifaj my first question is what have you got to lose??

You can use 3.5% down fha for a duplex as well.Unless you are doing a major value add or some sort of flip you will likely lose money buying now and trying to sell in 1-2 years. 

I don't know one individual on the buyer (networks) or seller (producers) side who aren't in fear of losing their job on a regular basis.

There are a lot of ways the investor can lose money in Baltimore that are magnified now. 

While I would never root for anyone to lose their property or net worth, @Jeff Copeland is correct that it is a cycle.

Tenants who lose their jobs have options, but some tenants who lose their job refuse to get assistance.

and to make that decision, the big question you need to ask is what happens if you lose money on the deal?
