It could be the location, i.e. coastal SoCal (or conversely at the airport where people are literally trapped for hours), it could be the exclusive presence of unique brands or merchandise (think boutique/trendy/artsy), something special has to draw traffic.

Franlky, I think those days are long gone, but properties may well exist, say in rural areas or small towns, where competition is not as stiff.My point is, you need to understand business, aspects of legal issues, types of businesses, insurance issues, financing, traffic counts, location and population shifts and the economic impact of government these days.

Luckily the clip on the neck finally broke and I tumbled into oncoming traffic.

We have had a lot of traffic in the Sugar Land property, but no lease.  

The Lakewood meetup that we host would be the closest one to your area, about a 30 minute drive depending on traffic. 

Thanks @Allen Fletcher There is a house around the corner from this (7 houses down) with less charm, but same sq ft, build date, yard size, etc. that doesn't have the traffic that this house does.

Jim Murray in our market, we see a lot of web traffic through homeaway sources.

In a home, vinyl tile is usually part of a floating system, but if you have supermarket level traffic and moisture the epoxy is important.

It's true what you said about that the rates don't explain the lack of foot traffic coming to the property.

You pitching a 3.41% pro forma with a negative cash flow as a 'attention investor special' on loopnet might not get the amount of traffic you are hoping for.And lets say your property is a solid B property after your investment.
