2. A foreclosure tsunami as "landlords" renting out their lower unit/extra room cannot make their mortgage.

Note that just as there is a moratorium (in some cases) for rent, there is also one on mortgages (in some cases).

Secondly, there is also the carry of properties besides mortgages (property taxes, heating, maintenance.)
