As a result, the perception is often that retail is broadly in decline and that our future lies with e-commerce and its network of warehouses and trucks.

But office carries the risk of a faster shift towards work from home as more companies have been forced to adapt to this during the stay-at-home orders.WarehouseWarehouse appears to be best positioned to weather a recession as vacancy rates are low and demand for logistics and e-commerce has been strong.

@Evan Bonnell the law, as relayed to me by my solo 401k provider (@Dmitriy Fomichenko) in a newsletter this morning includes the following hardship provision:Has experienced adverse financial consequences as a result of being (a) quarantined, (b) furloughed, (c) laid off, (d) who has reduced work hours that is due to SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, (e) who is unable to work due to lack of child care due to SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, (f) closed or reduced hours of the business the participant owns or operates due to SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, or (g) any other factors as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury.Your lack of child care should qualify as a hardship.If you can weather the tax hit, and you are concerned about income/tax burdens in retirement, maybe consider doing an in-service conversion of $100k to the Roth portion of your 401k (if your plan has it, and if it permits you to convert). 

In the E-Myth Revisited Michael Gerber talks about successful people actively creating their lives while others just kind of float through life. 

I'm currently working on getting my license and I would like to be able to set up automatic e-mail alerts for investors looking in a specific area, price range, and property type.

@Donald E Appleberry @Dan Heuschele I will definitely take your advice on the wait, since there is barely any townhomes or condos currently available in the SD market with a reasonable price tag.
