But how long did the tenant wait to tell you, did they leave the fridge closed to keep it as cold as possible, do things like buy ice to help keep it cool?  

I get the biggest stainless steel fridges I can fit in there with water/ice dispensers.

I'd say stereotypically what you'd expect to find outside a military base: strip club, tattoo parlor, liquor store, used cars. :) Then you also have to contend with jet noise in Hampton Roads.

Seems plausible enough, with ice-laden tree branches falling on power lines and such.

When I asked about it, it was due to an ice storm that occurred 4-5 months prior! 

Granted these are out-parcels at an anchor retailer so they are the cream of the crop so make sure you take that into account with your parcel but to give you an idea, the payoff of 2.5 years for what I'm seeing as maybe $100K in upfront costs?

Banks that have gone dark QSR's, Pizza huts, anything that's on an outparcel and can get converted to the use I'm looking for (mostly urgent cares) is still considered the cream of the crop.  

It sounds like you are asking what color icing to put on your cake before you know how to bake. 

The icing on the cake for me is that both have major universities (Ohio State & UC), which fosters market stability/growth, brings in tons of different medium-term rental prospects (travel nurses, researchers, contractors), and ultimately allows for an additional exit strategy (RBTR) if needed.

@Jeremy Tillotson Are you aware of our legal responsibilities in Indiana concerning snow removal and ice (as a Landlord)?
