But the thieves did take a TV, coffee and end tables and 2 suitcases with my clothes. 

I'm shopping in Long Island NY and it seems impossible to buy using the 1% rule in this market.I've done some more detailed analysis of deals and it seems like 0.8 might be appropriate here; mMy analysis works like this:Run comps for rent and determine market rentCalculate 85% of market rent and I have my "effective rent" (deduct 5% each for vacancy, management, and CapEx)Calculate PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance)If effective rent > PITI; property cash flows?

Myself, I know 5 basic chords on my cheap guitar, so I'm not shopping for fancy gear at Carter Vintage and not joining musicians communities.

I can see how malls in a downtown location, situated across multiple floors in buildings, being converted into living spaces. https://www.businessinsider.com/americas-first-shopping-mall-is-now-micro-apartments-2016-10https://gizmodo.com/7-dead-shopping-malls-that-found-surprising-second-live-1634073681 

Once it's safe to go out, I would love to meet people for coffee (or tea if you swing that way.) 

Other areas, such as downtown Blowing Rock, are always packed because of the cute shops shops and such, but again, the main attractions are hiking and biking. 

Shops have been closed.

Might you have time for coffee??   

It was in the shop for almost three months.

Let me know if you want to talk shop some time.
