Domestic air travel in China is back to pre-pandemic levels and in Singapore there were all of 5 positive cases of Covid as the country has been diligent on preventive measures and contact tracing.

Right now a lot of programs have been temporarily modified due to the pandemic, and I've had loan officers who were honestly unaware of certain memorandums.

She did say a lot of the loan types like DS loans are not available for her right now because of the pandemic but should be soon.

Until the pandemic, I worked in Charleston, so I am generally familiar with its various neighborhoods. 

Especially during the pandemic years, more new construction builders entered the market and quality decreased.

Due to coronavirus, I was scared towards the end of closing because I felt like property values would go down a bit.

Partner with a friend to work on larger projects with greater upside (600-700K total cost with 900K+ ARV)- They have been doing luxury value-add STR (but never a flip) in the higher end Hudson Valley markets since the pandemic - There's likely less competition at that price point- It may take us longer to find the deal and obviously a larger projects also likely means longer timeline. 

On the demand side, both the number of new deals signed and the leased square footage are below pre-pandemic levels.

People got used to those government checks during the pandemic and they aren't willing to live with less.

Great question Brian, this is related to macro economic trends as well as the pandemic shifting the way and where we work.
