HOWEVER, fundamentally strong markets WILL recover and bounce back so there is value in looking through these reports.

Hey David,I would say there are fundamentally three options;1.

So a number of municipalities have passed ordinances against these duplex conversions that fundamentally change their neighborhoods.

I don't need to know down to the hundreds, but I would like to know if it's closer to 50k or 100k.My biggest concern is that there could be fundamental structural issues or whatever issues not readily apparently that ends up costing tens of thousands more when rehabbing.

For example, Retail Opportunity Investment Corporation (ROIC), which is a REIT composed of necessity-based neighborhood shopping centers, anchored by national or regional supermarkets and drug stores located in densely populated areas with strong income fundamentals across growth markets in the western U.S, has dropped by over 46% since the start of the year - down almost 20 percentage points more than the SPDR Retail Index ETF.

Retail landlords can likely endure a short-term reduction in rent, but longer-term fundamentals may be impacted by retailers going bankrupt.Based on my analysis of the change in valuation for Realty Income Corporation, a REIT focused on triple-net retail properties, the value for these properties, long perceived as safe, has fallen by 28%.

When doing a top-down market analysis, you want to look at fundamental supply and demand characteristics: healthy and growing population base, demographic trends, diversified employment sectors (so if one industry goes down–like the auto industry in Detroit–the whole town doesn't go down with it), talented and educated workforce.

Knowledge, Planning, and Executing are the fundamentals of growth both as an individual and as a business.The reason for this post is because there are a lot of discussions about what if's and whether or not we should prepare for the worst of times.
