The bases are like 'Anchor' stores in shopping malls.

I also like areas with great Anchors like malls, universities, hospitals, and iconic places people like to be close too.

I don't know how much of it is conscious and deliberate strategy (as I didn't even read to see who is supporting the legislation) but "anchoring" in public policy and perception is certainly really. 

@Jason Ma The thinking behind that is that businesses like that do a lot of research and only locate in good areas, same with large anchor department stores.

I have my own problematic bias of anchoring to the Boston I knew growing up with the Whitey Bulger connected folks, the chain link fences and the rotten 3 deckers.

Fear is a real anchor and can keep you from going forward.

They are the anchor tenants in these properties. 

overall strategy looking for value add upside in occupancy rates, a property that cash flows close to breakeven or breakeven+ vs the debt service, on a corner with strong demos with decent traffic counts and a "draw" anchor ie grocery. 

I've checked with RealtyShares, Patch of Land, Anchor, and LendingHome and NONE of them do business in South Dakota.  

Those landlords may well have properties to sell that are off market, talk to them.And, learn the basics of real estate, not ways to deal in it as all transactions are anchored in the basics.
