What value is there in foreclosing on a restaurant or nail salon or any other business that is closed for the duration? Probably very little, as now the financial institution that owns it has to find some new owner once the quarantines pass, and the most likely bidder, which is to say, the owner foreclosed thereupon, now has a blot on his credit report.
Moreover, the publicity from foreclosing on housing because the owner hasn't been able to make payments because the governor has deemed his work non-essential will conjure up images of Snively Whiplash twirling his moustache (and tying somebody to the tracks just ahead of an onrushing trainload of toilet paper?)
It's perhaps in that spirit that a bank I do business with is offering sixty-day suspensions on foreclosures and ninety-day suspensions on mortgage and small loan payments.
Look for that to become more common.
