When interest rates were 13-16% in the early 1980s master leases were much more prevalent.

I'm sure I was herded into a narrow set of offerings available by my agency, but I did put a bit of research into it, but the marketing of the non-independent agencies is stronger and more prevalant.

@Travis Watts, Given the definition that "syndication" really just means a fraction ownership of an asset by not equals for a common goal there are definitely some different options than the typical "LP" syndication that is prevalent today. 

The most prevalent is getting an Elevation Certificate. 

I also see the benefit of low interest rates in an up economy where lending is prevalent. 

John FrankYour choice of paint sheen will depend a lot on where you are and what finishes are prevalent in your market and what type of property you have.In my travels, I've noted that textured walls and ceilings (orange peel, knock down, etc) tend to become more common as one heads south.  

Now cooling has become more prevalent than heat and retrofitting that is even more challenging.

There are many components to cap rates -  interest rates and supply / demand factors are probably the most prevalent.  

I think it's probably prevalent in any "cheap" market.  

The exposed aggregate or "honey­ combing" within the concrete is indicative of a "cold­ joint".Without reinforcing steel, the wall was not able to resist the high lateral loads associated with the expansive clay soils, especially saturated soils, prevalent in this area.While not in danger of impending structural failure, this wall should be reinforced, probably with a "Strong-back" system to help maintain structural integrity.
