Trying to see if we can prevent loosing our small business. We own a four space retail building in a college town. University is closed and town population down 40%. Rents received next week will be 35% of normal we expect. May rents maybe as low as O%. Not sure. Restaurants can’t make it on take out. “Non essential” stores in the building closed.

So studying the federal CARE act to explore options. Waiting to learn which lenders will be handling the federal funds. That list won’t be identified for up to 30 days. We can do this for a while but not long term. Pretty nerve wracking.

Maybe I should take a few photos but haven’t been in the mood. Plus my wife was traveling when this happened so we are sequestered from each other for two weeks. Sorta like salt in the wound. We’ll stick to it and figure something out. Sorry if that’s a sad tale but it’s the truth. Not begging for mercy. Just being honest. I assume many here are in a similar boat.

Have fun herding cats Robert.
