Mar 2020

I have a rental property that supplements my Social Security and, honestly, makes it so my husband and I can stay in our home. I fear that some of my tenants will claim that they can't pay the rent, take advantage of the forgiveness while I still incur the expenses of maintaining the property.

I'm not some shifty "slum lady", just a caring person who fortunately was able to invest in the building. It's on the historic register, so maintenance and repair cost more than most income properties. I get along very well with my tenants, but I know that some would take advantage of this policy.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
