Recently I bought a retail center and that deal has been making me think more about if it would be wise to set up a separate management company for all the properties. 

I’m debating whether to furnish the shared areas or just stage them for photos and viewings.

It's shifting to a model of a big anchor, a Target or a Costco, and lots of little businesses in that same shopping center. 

There are deals in every market if you know how to look for them and there are strategies that work in every stage of the cycle.

Local Institutions: We’re curious about schools, community centers, and other amenities that make certain neighborhoods more appealing to tenants.Additionally, we’d love to connect with:Experienced real estate agents who know the market inside and out.We’re eager to learn and truly appreciate any insights, advice, or connections you can share.

I think smaller markets say sub 50k population would have a larger impact from one big move from a manufacturing facility or something like a Amazon processing center.

Managing 17 shopping centers and selecting sites for new developments is no small feat—kudos to you!

It is a bit painful, but I commit to staging--unwaveringly. 

I think we have enough software in the STR world lolWhat if we made a guide to increase occupancy rates that centers around marketing, guest experience, and ways to stand out in saturated markets that isn't simply "buy more amenities"?  

When you go with a company, it may be a month before the mailing goes out since they  stage and batch the mailings in order to use bulk mailing at the post office.2.
