You wouldn’t ask advice from your doctor about investments, and you would you talk to a broker about medical treatment.

Our states tenants "pay any periodic, preventive, or additional extermination costs desired by Tenant, including treatment for bed bugs, unless otherwise required by law".If they've been a problem tenant for years then it might be time to find another tenant..

That, I believe will not improve without a vaccine or empirically-proven treatment to the virus. 

My tenants are all up to date on rent, the current project I’m working on is a va construction loan funded so this hasn’t effected the project, tenant called me for some sort of bugs and 50 dollars worth of Home Depot esq bug treatment seems to have solved the problem!

He was able to be with her during the treatments and spent a lot of time with her.

It can be a form of defensive investing that allows you to stay in real estate while waiting for the next buying opportunity in other sectors.There are some good fractional NNN products that qualify for 1031 treatment and will have a low minimum of $100 - $150K of cash. 

However, even if one could have foreseen this with perfect accuracy and is fiscally ready, I don't think it means we should roll over and capitulate to unfair treatment and a complete dissolution of our rights.There is no excuse for leaving landlords with ZERO recourse whatever.

Did the government try their best to remove inexpensive alternative treatments from the market and lie about it?
