I understand that a lot of turnkeys, especially in the midwest, don't appreciate at all, their value being cash flow, but I wonder in a place like Philly with all those colleges there and pop growth increasing if those properties might appreciate?

It's certainly more risky and you should expect higher maintenance and unforeseen issues popping up during the rehab.

Larger retail the management fee can go down to 3 to 4%. 3% especially if you give them multiple centers to manage.I am talking larger centers that are 6 to over 10 million in price etc.The smaller centers I can see 5% management to 6%.The larger centers tend to have more national tenants, franchisees, and just  a few mom and pops.

For others, the water table in Miami is about 3' below ground, if you drain the pool, it will float, and pop out of the ground.
