As far as I gather, a different spin on an old technique. " We buy ugly houses"... anyone?

Firstly, that will probably cause the appraiser's head to spin. 

My assumption was a new investor to the net lease space wouldn't be jumping in to a grocery anchored center but you're absolutely right, you can spin down the tubes real quick if all of a sudden your anchor leaves and several of the tenants have the right to reduce rent or terminate the lease completely.

Budgeting 5% of $1,000/mo for cap ex ain’t gonna cut it which is why these properties run negative even if they’re supposed to spin off $100/mo or whatever.

That was recently lowered to 4.26 million, and even achieving that could be a struggle if mortgage rates don’t move sharply lower.The positive spin to all this is that every year we have existing home sales below 5 million units is just “compressing the spring” further.

That's were I'm at, scared, working for someone else, no retirement and knowing a lot of information but spinning my wheels.

Switch it so it spins clockwise in the winter.

Just the various marketing actions alone, your head would spin at the expense.

You are spinning your wheels.

We know that's going to have us spinning our wheels.
