How has your economic occupancy held up during the recession?

It seems the most economical choice at the moment both to purchase and the cost of fuel.

When I pressed about this the investor made the claim that many banks are pulling back on lending on construction projects that are not owner occupied due to pandemic/economic reasons.

Once we hit a solid economic down turn I think you are going to see a lot of deals to be had.

I find this helps me identify which areas are "food deserts", or places which the major chains won't serve due to economic reasons. 

Of course, that assumes you survive economically.

I tend to nerd out over economics.

Getting close to zero is a huge step in the right direction and may be more economically feasible.Personally I'd just submeter the building and avoid the headache of managing and trying to justify energy costs to tenants, that said some way of quantifying their savings and reaping the benefits does make sense.

Strong economic and demographic fundamentals are important.

Over the least year I have 4 other out of state single family homes, in a small (but not tiny) midwest city which I deem to have a long term stable market (national average population growth, diverse stable economy, largest city for some distance, has both hospital and university, low crime).
