We decided to decline the offer and reinstate it until Sunday, right before the open house started.

I would like to learn it and was wondering if you please would be so kind and share what websites you use to figure out if population is declining...Or economy in this or that area is growing...IS there any website that I could get that info from?

Has anyone ever experienced a declining rent environment?

I made a lease option offer to a homeowner and he declined because he assumed at the end of the lease option contract (2/3 years) his house value could drop and the new buyer could only  get a loan for the new appraisal.

My understanding/impression is that most of the 15 tenants are in the 700-1500 sq ft. range with the largest space being 2200 sq. ft.The Office Submarket looks as such: Flat capital growth and lease rate growth since the recession13.7% average vacancy rate in submarket 3 star (10.9% across all level properties)Availability rate 13.9%12 month net absorption SF 227kAverage 12 month sales Cap 7.7% (across all star properties)0 new properties under construction or to be delivered in the next 12 months Average lease rates are $22-24 sq. ft (this property is about 21.5-22)Value add (seems to be a stretch but might be):Upgrading interior hallways and exterior for a broader appeal and capital appreciationOffer basic build outs to interested parties (not something the current owners do) Working against the office submarket in North NJ is a declining population.and high property taxes but the 2 star being at the bottom may be better equipped to handle stagnancy.This building is on main road with a15-17k car count a year/ does provide signage is near retail and less than a 1/5 mile off a highway exit and is close to a city center.  

Decline their application NOW and find another tenant NOWI'm a veterinarian and in general I LOVE pitbulls...... most of them are great.

Unless this property is an absolute dump, I would expect the bank to decline your offer and instead, sell to a cash buyer.

I’d buy now considering you’re probably going to miss out on at least severalMore good years before we hit a decline.

You can find 2% in some northern cities where population is declining and supply exceeds demand.
