Office space is gutsy at this time with many companies working remotely, maybe part of your investment was to bet that people will be coming back to work in person.  

You can break it out by general RE activities and material participation.

Right now, I’m actively learning and planning to start my first projects this year.

In an area like Austin, I am betting you can find some great stuff for little cash.

I am mostly active in the North East.

I am an active real estate broker and general contractor here in Memphis and this is a great market for RE investing!

Quote from @Clive Duncan: I'm not sure if this forum is still active, but I'm looking to chat with a few real estate investors in Ontario who may be interested in raising funds by selling fractional shares of their property.My co-founder and I are doing some market research so we need to talk to some folks to gather more insights before building this out.If this interests you or someone you know, please reach out.

If they do, your best bet is a local community bank that funds these types of properties.Another option is a private lender but that money will be pretty expensive, as mentioned 10%  + 

I am betting your gonna find a lot more friendly amicable persons than shut doors.
