What's really interesting is to see some of them being redeveloped into housing for seniors.Also shopping patterns have changed with work flexibility, so many of these malls don't need as big of parking lots that they once did when people could only shop after work or on weekends. 

But if this is a pattern, it’s time to reconsider.

You can have the best caller with the best pattern interrupt who is highly skilled but if they are calling a list that has been beaten to death by every call center and all the other investors out there, it won’t matter.

However, the best way to get a feel for rental rates compared to values is to review/underwrite properties in the area - only after reviewing/underwriting many will you begin to see a pattern.

Absent some facts being added to the pattern that suggest this property should not be sold retail, I will defer on a walk-through.

I thought this could be a good way to take inventory of other situations landlords experienced and make proactive updates to our leases without having to first experience the same fact pattern.

so comparing miami to ohio or kansas or iowa is very wrong in my own opinion, because you are comparing diet coke with unsweetened tea, once the economy created its own pattern of success , comparing it to other town would not be accurate becoz the methodology of understanding the phenomenon has not been researched yet.like california is now the strongest market in usa although price wise it is the second highest and huge pop declines.

My tenants are decent people and I let them know that I hate these kinds of conversations and if other people are complaining then clearly there is a pattern here that is wrong on their end. 

There's no predictable pattern to the increases, unlike CA with 2% max property tax increase.

Largely is because renters are not going to watch their electricity usage patterns, which makes it is hard to dial in the right system config to anticipate the load.
