Highly recommend

I'd keep 70% as a base and shoot for 90%+ on the high end.I think I'd be pretty happy with 90%. 

If you really like the place but you feel that it is priced too high for your budget, instead of saying “it’s priced too high” and insulting the seller, simply say “I absolutely love your place; it is exactly what I want, and I’d really like to buy it.

Sometimes they forget to tell you that many tenants in Detroit don't pay (depending on the property manager skill and the type of tenant) - but taxes are very high in the city and so is insurance. 

There are also several funds out there that provide high single digit yields that are low risk. 

North Park buyers might love a historic Craftsman with modern touches, while La Jolla buyers want high-end finishes and panoramic views.

I think broader consumer taste is killing malls, which includes online shopping, but also even where people are choosing to live and how they are spending their time/money, more broadly.I worked for a company that bought a failing mall back in 2012 (online shopping was "killing retail" then too), redeveloped most of it into more open air power center and sold.  

Thoughtful upgrades and efficient project management made this a successful venture, highlighting the strength of our partnership and commitment to delivering high-quality results.

Simple and powerful. 

Feel free to shoot me some high level particulars and I can keep you anonymous.
