@Tom Nguyen I have a company we use regularly for exactly this, it's worked out fantastic for us in time saved etc etc. 

A great attorney on your side can be a fantastic resource and is often a lot less expensive than you think. 

Are there cleaning protocols/check lists/new practices and methods for cleaning an apartment before renting it out now that we have a covid-19 pandemic?

You either have to go out a litte further, 2-3 miles to try and find comps, or try another valuation method like price per square foot average in the area to get a ballpark.

So interest rates are tanking so I was about to refinance and take cashout from some properties.But, speaking with my accountant, I found out that interest on the refi will not be tax deductible because I am not planning to improve the property.So this mean that BRRRR method is no longer a good method at least from tax deduction point?

I think all of those methods are ideal for what you want to do, just make sure you are targeting your ideal investor (demographics, age, etc).  

The issue sounds like with the delivery method chosen, since it prevented the check getting there in time. 

Purchase price: $365,000 Cash invested: $20,000 An apartment in my primary residence.Upgraded when purchased to command the highest rent possible.Looking to expand to other buy and hold rentals in the Long Island area, possibly with the BRRRR method.

Lots of people are doing the refi and I think it is a fantastic idea.
