For commercial retail shopping center kind of investment, is great VPD (vehicles per day) in a smaller city (Tucson MSA) better than a not so good VPD (Phoenix MSA) in a big city?

I have some doctor clients that can get ZERO DOWN on retail strip centers with their personal bank but they have super high net worth and income and pledge all the assets.

I'm limiting my search to these areas - Pine Hills, Melrose, Park South, New Scotland, Center Square, Helderberg, Buckingham and areas around SUNY.

I just know how to add and subtract...and good at Geometry and Algebra...two topics that should be front and center for all REI. 

@larry @Larry Baldwin  some sort of  admin role  ///assistant to a loan officer /   processor  ///maybe a jr loan officer  at a  call center type lender  ....work at a local bank  .....

I've seen such used for convent housing, hospice care, day care, rehab centers, after school care, etc... there are some limits to what they can be used for, but good lenders are very flexible with these kind of spaces.Cheers!

Drive out of the center until you hit the 'bad' area, then backtrack a few blocks.....do you see any attempts at gentrification?
