Because;No single strategy can be used in all markets, all  situations, nor can the be duplicated with different people; andAll transactions are anchored in basic real estate principles and law, you need to understand the economics of alternative choices; andUnlike gurus, you can be assured that a real business school won't be injecting ideas and spin off opinions that may well be illegal or lead you to complicated legal matters. 

That is just a pipe dream plain and simple especially with some strong tenants anchoring it if the area is good.

Retail: Anchors like JCP, Sears are closing stores, retail except for stand-alone restaurant properties are in trouble.Office: Depending on the market, either this is over built or there are enough projects in the pipeline to create excess inventory by the 3rd Q of 2018.Although brick and mortar retail may be seeing a setback online retail is booming giving rise to demand for flex space, warehouses, truck terminals and other logistic related properties.Manufacturing is also on the up and up, hence industrial properties have a good outlook. 

Some high end restaurants, movie theaters, and entertainment type places like a Dave and Busters but larger.Have seen modeling agencies also.Malls are trying to make it a destination place again versus places with old and tired anchors where people order online instead and then a bunch of clothing stores around it.  

You don't realize it now but it's an anchor around your neck and it's drowning you.Best of luck

Whether it is less likely for nominal prices to go down when rates go back up (anchoring) is not relevant.it only takes 3% net rental yield difference in the long run to compensate the past appreciation, and that difference may go down below 1% if rates stop going down.Looking at past periods where rates went down significantly and rental yields similarly compressed is not helping anticipate appreciation now that the rates are low.This is a long term consideration, in the short term, any markets can move up 15% just because of momentum, but I doubt you can sustain this in the next 15 years. 

We lost one of our employment anchors when General Motors pulled out during the crisis but we still have two midsized universities as well as a large Air Force Base.

Kidding aside, go with the flow.Do your numbers and figure out what you want to pay for it, then anchor your bid some amount below that, maybe 80% - 90%.

I'd also like to thank Anchor Title and Associates for their speed in the whole closing process.

What I am looking for are anchors or somewhere to start with, similar to, say, paying a gratuity at a restaurant.
