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. 

An experienced team or partner can also help boost confidence.Providing a combination of a solid commitment letter, proof of funds, and a clear, professional approach signals you’re serious and capable of closing the deal.
