Many people, including myself migrate to multi family properties as your portfolio grows;  you're in a position where you could START with it and grow, and have a jump on the situation.  

Now the migration out route 7 is westward again.

Delray has a great draw due to the trendy downtown and the migration of some employers.

Items such as the macro economics; net migration, income growth, job creation and more difficultly the soft areas which such as; crime, pride in ownership, etc....In the past when purchasing personal property I would picture myself living in the area, proximity of shopping, store availability, proximity to highways, traffic, restaurants and also new investment in commercial retail (I always thought if Walmart wanted to invest $10 million into a Neighborhood Market purchasing a SFH in the area is also a smart choice) they have done a lot more research than I ever would be able to perform myself.

Is it getting positive net migration lately?

But, our housing supply isn't keeping up, so Seattle rents are exploding and forcing out ordinary tenants, who then can then only migrate North and South, to Snohomish and Pierce counties. 

So it shouldn't be too surprising to see the malls start to fade.And even the movie theater chains have migrated out of the malls somewhat and into standalone locations.I think the mall operator can overcome some of these things by choosing the right tenant mix.

I migrated to the US at the age of 7 and noticed how important owning property really is.

I see Memphis in top 10 Out Net Migration list...!!
