Very few landlords are living paycheck to paycheck like their renters. It’s a good policy in the short term. If the economic downturn continues until next year of course even the landlords will need help. We all will.
Yeah but you're the WHITE MALE ONE PERCENT so **** you.I may be the only owner/landlord routinely posting. With all due respect you neither have no idea how I live, nor do you know how long I can remain economically solvent.
I rent 5 properties. 4 single family homes and 1 duplex. Every month I have expenses unrelated to tenants...mortgage, insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. I also have expenses (marketing, repairs, income taxes, and eviction processes) related to tenants. The expenses march on every single month whether or not I receive rent. Neither the city nor the county have offered to waive my property taxes if my tenants' rent are waived due to covid.
When the crap hit the fan in March, I called my bank and was able to secure a 90 day deferment of mortgage payments. The interest continued to accrue. 2 of my 5 propertied had to go to reduced rent. I was able to do that for 3 months only because I got a deferment from my bank.
Assuming all my expenses were unchanged:
If all tenants paid nothing, I would be insolvent within 60 days. If all tenants paid half rent, I could make it 6 months before bankruptcy. These are the margins. This is my reality. For full disclosure, I only have 35% LTV currently.
In a second post I stated some landlords should get relief but times are tough for all now. I am 100% for opening the economy completely regardless of which direction Covid takes. We will be third world status in 2 years if we don’t.I may be the only owner/landlord routinely posting.
