When COVID started, I encouraged all my tenants to move because what's the point in cashflowing when you live in house full of tenants during a pandemic?

As far as office I remain intrigued by it, also at least in our area condos have been brutally hit and I think offer a “deal” without quite the downsides to office, I tend to think office/retail in suburban and even pandemic boom markets (I’ve started investing on the eastern shore of Md and have considered some office deals there) offers the best risk/reward of office because you have a population boom coupled with ultimately still a low supply of office space, where as urban areas have lost population and have a huge glut of supply, I think the ultimate fate of a lot of urban office trends towards zero/land value. 

I went to a Renatus meeting in Denver weeks before the pandemic.

We did online real estate investor Zoom meetups for Philly investors all through the pandemic, but have only done one there in person.

Then came the Pandemic, so it was parked mostly.

This is why many short-term rentals in Las Vegas were sold during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pandemic shook these age ranges for a loop so we are still seeing where their paths will take them.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), as of 2023, housing inventory remains 40% below pre-pandemic levels, leading to heightened competition in many areas.To be considered a neutral market, not seller's or buyer's, the specific market center would need to have 6 months of inventory.

I don't expect millions for pennies, in fact, I resisted going up on my tenants rent during the pandemic since they have to pay all utilities.

Thanks to the pandemic, they jumped to number 2 in 2021.
