Their market is too expensive and competitive, so they’re sort of stuck in a holding pattern, waiting to see what happens.They are possibly even envious of others who are still investing in more affordable markets.I know I was.

We've heard of "jobless recoveries"...this fact pattern would be the inverse...a "jobful downturn".

We've seen this broad pattern before, nationwide, it takes a decade or more to pan out, and each time everyone scratches their heads and accts like we've never seen anything like this before (often times there is some unique, event or cultural shift, that comes along and "tips the scale" this way or that, which I think is about the only thing unique to each one):- urban core deemed more desirable (1920s, 1940s, 1960s, 1990s-2020[?])

One of the tenants only had 1 key - the key to the front door, so I used that key as the pattern to re-key ALL the other locks to match the front-door key. 

The bigger players like Starbucks have very specific needs, like analyzing traffic patterns, local businesses, etc.

I am thinking [property name]@[myllc.com] is the best pattern to use.

Talk to as many other local landlords as you can find, look for patterns in what they say about their properties and their tenants.

Each has pros and cons:Tile:The tile in my living/dining area has 18"x18" and 12"x12" tiles in a windmill pattern, but Lowe's no longer carries the 18"x18"...So if we transitioned, it would just be 12"x12"...

Fueled by caffeine and ambition, I start to look for any patterns and start to run statistical tests to find any outlying data.

Proving the intent, what was in someone's mind at the time gets alot easier with a jury when there is a pattern of activity.
