The Aftermath of COVID-19
The pandemic created a dramatic affect in regards to the retail and office markets, leaving industrial and multi-family properties almost unchanged. The Hospitality and Restaurant industries took a blow with workers not wanting to return to work after the notorious shutdowns, and those back-firing stimulus checks.

Or if they did carry those items, we got an incredible price online. Industrial and Warehouse properties have always been pretty solid before, but now more so than ever due to the turbocharged e-commerce and work-from-home movements.
