I think the reality is hard for folks to face but I agree that we really have no idea how long it's going to take for things to stablize, and that the skyrocketing unemployment, pumping trillions into the economy, bottom oil prices, etc., have deep ramifications.

Then let the conversation go naturally. 

Did a 57k rehab, including 2 kitchens and 2 baths, also converted the heating from oil to gas.

Previously with other extensions involving natural disasters, the IRS has provided for a longer 120-day extension period but relief was provided only to “affected” taxpayers.

We are looking at around 170K for the apartment so its a decent return and sure appreciation (forced and natural). 

I am about to convert the one old oil furnace, used for both units, into 2 split traditional HVAC systems.

Half way through renovations when we discovered that the underground oil tank was leaking and had to be replaced.

I have had interest in NN and NNN deals given the predictable cash flow and the passive nature of the investment.  

Due to the nature of my work I move often and will not be able to learn my local market well.

Not many people know how to connect the dots, me being one of them and naturally everyone has questions when they learn it.
