The CTA trains are much emptier than they were pre-pandemic. 

For years, I knew that I did not want to stay in the Northeast but up until now I haven't felt like I was ready or had a good excuse to take the plunge and move.I have been reducing the amount of "stuff" in my life for years to the point where I can now fit everything that I own in (or on) my 2011 Honda Fit.I have paid off all of my debt, have over 6 months of my current spending in cash, and have a current NW around $282k with $120k of that in a taxable account.I have a stable job as a Data Analyst that I have been working remote with since the pandemic hit.I am single with no children or pets (but do have 2 small house plants)I love walking, cycling, mountain biking, snowboarding, kayaking, hiking... basically all things active and outdoors.I like to reduce the amount of my personal consumption and focus on the important things in life such as my relationships, health, and finances.I am that guy in the neighborhood that always walks or bikes everywhere although I have a great car parked in the driveway.Anyway, a good friend of mine asked what I thought about moving out west with him.

We have been above the pre-pandemic job level for months already. 

Oh yeah…..I left out how this all went down in the middle of a pandemic and I lost all of my financing a week before closing.

The reason I asked this question is because my previous tenant was not comfortable to show his apartment while he was occupying citing pandemic as the reason so I had to wait until he moved out to start showing to prospective tenants, I hope that will not be the case when I am selling.

It was literally weeks into the pandemic How did you finance this deal?

Multifamily has been a very strong sector since the pandemic so there is and will continue to be a lot of competition in this space. 

Do you have a hot market now after the pandemic?

I have 5 properties, and i took advantage of banks putting me on deferred payments for 1 year due to pandemic.
