Most have a tenant rep broker they use and connect you up with them.Cap rate is usually tied to location ( urban,suburban,rural), location and quality of the tenants ( national, regional, mom and pop), and terms of the lease ( primary lease term in years, level of lease guarantee, rental increases, any termination rights, disclosure of sales, restrictive use rights, co-tenant anchor clauses,etc.).You need a void analysis from a landlord rep leasing broker.

A recent paid study showed that Gaston county had the best opportunity for growth in the region due to its infrastructure, plus Gastonia is putting major emphasis on growth and community development.  

So the unanimous response seems to be to go with a local to property regional bank.

Mom and pop have  a higher failure rate average than national chains and super regional tenants.Built in the 80's is a very old strip center.

HVAC is definitely more expensive in New Orleans than other regions, but can still be had for a reasonable price with some digging.

@Mel HayesHowdySome Great answers here, I like the Regional Airport, lol.

Looking for recommendations for REI attorneys in the Western Mass region. 

Are there national or regional sites where you can identify and checkout property management companies?

If it is a regional to national tenant odds are high even if you call directly that they will forward your site to their tenant rep broker for consideration and follow up.For retail properties I have not seen tenant rep fees of 7% that sounds high.

In Michigan, for example, there are several different MLS for different regions in the state, being in West Michigan I don't have metro Detroit MLS access as I don't do work there.
