For those who have flipped houses in multiple cities across Texas or Florida, which ones stand out as being on either end of the spectrum in terms of how difficult and time-consuming the permitting process is?

In str there is no right or wrong as the spectrum of items in this area is vast- location, type, size, etc etc etc. 

With Charter Spectrum you can subscribe to the App-Only version of their Cable TV service (and I think this is true for other major cable providers?). 

Both are books you should also take a look at but ALWAYS know there is a spectrum to everything and take everything with a grain of salt.

@Joe KellyWe can agree that there are variant quality of builders across the spectrum of housing types yes?

@Mark FergusonI'm not disagreeing with you really at  all.I'm not talking about teaching a segment of real estate, but the entire spectrum of the basics of real estate which is pretty much what you had to study to become a licensee.

If I'm in your shoes, I'd recommend interviewing and meeting with different brokers across the spectrum to get a good sense of which option is right for you.

After peaking in the second quarter of 2022 at $316 billion, trailing 12-month transaction volume finished the year close to 70% off the recent highs.As interest rate volatility whipsawed the capital markets last year, a noticeable shift in buying patterns saw investors move up the quality spectrum.

The 80,750-SF grocery-anchored neighborhood center, which traded at a 6.5% cap rate and was 92% occupied, has had The Fresh Market as its anchor tenant for the past 12 years.Higher up the pricing spectrum, unanchored and open-air shopping centers may see cap rates above 7% and occasionally push into the 8% to 9% range as specific market and quality factors influence each transaction.In the open-air shopping center segment, Nuveen sold the 1 MSF Fayette Pavilion to 5Rivers CRE, a private buyer from Houston, for $134 million, or $128/SF.

Not to be left behind, institutional and public REIT investors persist in their pace of acquisitions, homing in on first-class developments and prime locations.Yields on stabilized industrial investments continue to price in a tight range over treasuries, which began falling in the fourth quarter due to slowing economic growth and the market's expectations of rate cuts beginning in the first half of 2024.Properties offering in-place rents substantially below market can still see cap rates in the upper 4% range, but a growing portion now trades in the low 5% spectrum.
