Now, I'm also a little concerned with how hard Alaska will be hit due to recent events and the layoffs, oil being so low, tourism being hurt this year and I even heard about the fishing industry taking a hit.

I'm not knocking coaching but this industry if overwhelmed with fraudulent coaches / investors so due diligence is of paramount importance.

The tourist and hospitality industry drives the economy and I just think that that industry is being hit heavily and will be slow to recover from the coronavirus.

Apts are still the best-looking CRE compared to alternatives (excepting maybe leased out industrial).

I’m in LA county -Glendale - and just in the beginning stages of learning the industry and my market I plan to invest/do business.

Terrific...https://www.nmhc.org/news/press-release/2020/apartment-industry-urges-sba-and-treasury-to-amend-paycheck-protection-program-to-enable-multifamily-participation/

There are so many unknowns right now and if the hysteria over the virus drags on for months and this really does permanently change our way of life (I'm skeptical) with more permanent levels of social distancing or rolling lockdowns or who knows what, you might never see the restaurant industry recover, many types of office space might become obsolete, retail may move almost completely online.

Jumbo programs have all been suspended at the moment due to the coronavirus and the ripple effect it's had on the lending industry/economy as a whole. 

They tend to price shop as well and alot of people in the real estate industry are too analytical with numbers and not results when it comes to choosing contractors.

I made my choice based on tech industry job prospects, and suggestions from friends that it was a great city.
