Once people rebound they will be looking for safer more stable alternatives and will be willing to accept lower returns in exchange for stability.

We wanted to live in Georgetown, which is where our church is.Next, I simply just needed to figure it out.

If the health crisis is short-lived (say 3 to 6 months), the economy should start to rebound in a reasonably short time.

While it is theoretically possible to simply withdraw/transfer only a certain percentage ownership of the property (e.g. 20% one year, 20% the next year etc) to spread out the tax burden, this means that you would own the property as a tenancy in common.

With very few exceptions on a large portfolio of properties, it simply does not make sense to turn passive income into self-employment income.

MY clients say "BUT THE FED.." and I say "listen, the Fed rate is simply a benchmark, the mortgage rates now are being determined by demand, the banks simply cannot keep up with the requests during this refinance boom, and have raised their prices accordingly." 

Just simply lowered the interest amount, which freed up significant cash flow across all of my properties. 

Quite simply this: the monthly rent with no utilities paid must be at least 1% of the "all in" costs to purchase, close, fix up, and carrying costs during rehab.
