Hi @Keith Anderson Welcome to BiggerPockets one stop shop for all your RE questions.

Multi-Tenant retail is one of the few remaining property types, where you can still find a higher yield.I am in CT and our firm just closed on a 4 tenant retail strip center 100% occupied with all National Tenants shadow anchored to THE major shopping area in a suburb of Chicago, at a 9.25% Cap Rate, resulting in a 10+% cash-on-cash return, to our investors.

I live in LA too and had shopped through foreclosures in the OC and couldn't for the life of me figure out where there were profits to be had.
