C.A.R. is hard at work keeping you updated on and prepared to handle the challenges of this crisis. Here’s a rundown of what CAR has been working on:
- We have been updating our Relief FAQ for Agents and Relief FAQ for Brokers daily with the newest information on the various financial assistance programs available to REALTORS®. At the beginning of each FAQ, we have highlighted the answers that have changed in the last update. If it’s been a few days since your last visit, we encourage you to take another look at these FAQs.
- We have written step-by-step instructions walking you through how to apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) from the U.S. Small Business Administration. For more information on EIDLs — targeted, low-impact loans to small businesses and independent contractors that have experienced “substantial economic injury” as a result of the coronavirus — see our FAQ on Small Business Administration Loans.
- For those applying for loans from the Small Business Administration, make sure you check our new guide on how to Protect Yourself from SBA Loan Scams. The authorization of COVID-19 relief funds by the federal government under the CARES Act has seen a rise in scammers trying to divert those funds into their pockets.
- We have updated our FAQ on Landlord Issues to account for the deluge of eviction moratoria that have been enacted at nearly every level of government in the past few weeks.
- Check our just updated list of Local Ordinances for information on city and county restrictions on real estate that may be more strict than the state rules.
- For a list of upcoming webinars, see our Webinars page on C.A.R.’s coronavirus website, where you can also find recordings of past webinars.
