In addition to that, lots of retail has actually been demolished over the past decade to make room for higher density projects, like apartments.That said, most retail landlords with high quality shopping centers aren't dying for deals.

Every BRRRR should be a decent quality flip.

My thought is choose a higher income, high quality tenant especially in CA and don't listen to any sob stories (not 100% foolproof but reduces the risk). 

Hey Deepak I have a number of rentals in San Diego and lots of experience placing high quality tenants. 

It depends on the strength of the leases, quality of tenants, and about 17 other factors.Are they paying market rate?

Particularly in a college town there are a lot of opportunistic property investors and low quality property managers. 

I am sure there  are deals less but when you consider the mid west at 75 to 125 a foot  thats a big spread.. and basically for the same quality houses.

Freshworks shines with its AI-powered functionalities.I am least excited about the need to cold call on properties and the need for sales and marketing so I will be digging on anything that identifies quality properties.

Just make sure you are using a quality agent and good boots on the ground knowledge.

Absent it being mandatory I would just go through with the eviction there are far too many good tenants out there looking for quality housing to waste time on one who burnt me.
