@Zach Midwood hey Zach. You’ve heard the support for Louisville. Great market with a lot of scattered site opportunities with 3-4 units. Locations mentioned are key of course. We have only invested in larger properties here but have had a number of these size properties presented in packages and have not pursued as it’s not part of the business plan. Good luck and let us know any questions you have
