Post-crash, buyer's market everywhere, prices were down 40%, or more in great residential areas such as Laguna Hills. 4Plexes in Anaheim were being bought like candies in super market.

I heard the newest key indicators are super markets, public transportation, co-working spaces in the area, decrease in crime.

@Thomas Hickey Starbucks;-)When we were in Austin a couple of weeks ago, I believe the markets that foreshadowed progre$$ were MT SuperMarket and Trader Joes.

@Jedd Braunwarth I work for a grocery chain called Publix supermarkets.

However; this park will be located within city limits on a good location with restaurants and supermarkets nearby.

It could be a supermarket(a big one) or it could be clothing.

Please share what market you invest in.I don't know that we are some super market tested property manager, but our policy has been to increase the rent every year by 2-4%/year. 

Do supermarkets still have the cork boards where you can post local ads?

I read of lawsuits where the manager of a supermarket had a dispute with a customer, assaulted the customer, the supermarket was sued, as well as the manager personally.The other theory is in the eyes of the law, if the business is held in an LLC, the LLC is a mere pass through entity, and corporate shield can be easily pierced.I followed the lawsuit, as my employees had to take time off, go to court to testify.

@Derrek LawsonAround here, corner stores (dépanneurs) are an endangered species, but in parts of the City where there are no supermarkets close-at-hand, they do a booming business ... there is a little one across the street from one of our properties which does over $2M/year in revenue.Survey the neighbourhood, you might want to buy the building which houses the store ... and perhaps the store ... as well. ;-)
