I have a background in AI and sell solutions in this space for municipal systems as part of my 'day job'. 

Almost everyone is retreating to a space they are very comfortable in. 

Investment Info:Office Space commercial investment investment.

I have previously posted about my experiences in the RAL space and nothing about it is "hands off"' or a passive type investment.

I see that you want to purchase a home for your growing family, are you planning on a house hack or having a rental space in your future family residence?

Needs work done but got me thinking about buying duplex’s if I can get the whole building with multiple spaces

* lots of restaurant spaces will contract/go vacant...wonder how they can be repurposed?

I would give them some space, but you want them to realize that you're both struggling together through this difficult time.

Downsizing is for sure a good thing for us as the big house is just a bunch of wasted space for us and our lives have shifted to where we don't get to enjoy our park-like 20 acres like we used to. 

You own the inside living space but the owner of the building owns the land and physical building, so maintains the grounds and externals of the building.
