@Nick Brubaker, Local Market Monitor does have some stats on the 300+ MSAs in the USA.

I have been monitoring a property which has been an REO listing for over 140+ days.

As part of my demographics research, I closely monitor the movement of where the Asian money is flowing in metro Atlanta.

Disclosure of sales in the lease is a plus as you can monitor trends over time and likelihood to renew the options and plan accordingly.There are some value plays with a Walgreens where 5 years left on primary term for say a 7 to 8 cap.

You should certainly see more than 2 unless you have your monitor resolution set low.

Interviewing them properly, physically visiting their offices, and monitoring their performance are all a must if you want to insure a successful investment.

This is very exciting as they are planning on 3k-5k-7k jobs for this first of it's kind electric semi-truck factory.We will be monitoring and projecting how this will impact real estate investing for this critical and major regional development. 

He failed to monitor utility bills correctly and I'm still not sure that it all got squared away:  tenants neglected to put water bill in their name; PM neglected to ensure that they were the back-up contact; I ended up with a $600 water bill when the city finally contacted me.  

I'm originally from Cleveland, and I've lived in Columbus for years, so I know both markets very well.One potential pitfall to avoid--especially in Cleveland--is that some property management companies won't handle properties in certain neighborhoods.Also, make sure to hire a property management company that will monitor your property vigilantly--meaning they will drive by the property at least once or twice a week.Let me know what zip codes you have in mind, and I can share what I know, or I can get an answer (from one of my contacts) even if I don't know the answer off the top of my head.

Monitor and Adapt: Continuously monitor the market and be ready to adapt your strategies as conditions change.
