Probably real good advice 10 years ago. Maybe not so good now.
Google apartment glut; and for houses, you'd be competing with the international bankers in New York, and the bubble starting to pop in certain overpriced markets. Top that up with eviction moratoriums, and housing doesn't look so great these days.
As for commercial, I'd wait and see if the companies can make forced returns to the office stick before I'd head that direction.
I would stay away from commercial, definitely.
