I suspect two things are happening here: 1) Hotels are lobbying hard to squeeze VR's in this time of crisis and 2) the Governor made a calculated gamble that STR's are many small fish who, individually, are unlikely to sue while Hotels would certainly do so. 

I understand giving applicants a break on the student loans and If I were renting and personally interviewing the applicants some consideration for exceptional applicants , but i’m curious to why you don’t put too much weight on credit in general.The reason why I personally don't put too much emphasis on credit scores is because I've never found a strong correlation between the numerical scores and how good a tenant the person will be.  

I'm sure there's a way -just like for any individual interested in the property- to get in position to acquire it.Seems like I'd be smart to talk to an RE atty.

I wanted your opinion if you would feel comfortable  renting 2 rooms to 2 individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic ?  

If you have used somebody you trust or are such an individual/professional, please get in touch.

I would consider buying at as much of a discount as you can, in a good location ( not on a busy street, not near any "yeah buts" as MeetKevin would say, stable neighborhood, fixed long term financing4) South of Blvd has always had higher desirability, but if you find a good value, there are many great neighborhoods north of the blvd.5) I'm not a CPA, generally you pay taxes when you sell & if it's a primary residence there are large exclusions ($250k each individual owner) 

Ive wondered how some individuals without a SSN get places and why the landlords would accept.

You cannot record two loans simultaneously, however, you can have several lenders on one loan if it’s fractionalized.If legal in the state you obtain the loan, a fractionalized loan will allow several individuals to participate in one first position loan.

If you go that route, make sure to run all banking activity through the LLC, and not individual partner names.

As a risk adverse individual I would say never sacrifice your personal family emergency fund for an investment.
