The new shopping center, the amazon distribution center & Chick Fil A on eastlake can only mean one thing.

Natomas, West Sac, Downtown/Midtown, Med Center, etc are all much more attractive options IMO. 

You have about a third of the properties in two neighborhoods that are two removed from Center City, that depending where they are in the neighborhood MIGHT garner 6-7 caps as they're rapidly gentrifying and will double in the next 5 years assuming the city doesn't kill development through construction taxes and removal of abatements.

I think a 30-45min radius from the city center would be a good range.To get a better feel for the market, I would suggest you just search "Atlanta" in the BP search bar and just reach out to all the investors that pop up.

Bakersfield is a great market, we are seeing good growth and lots of new companies moving in, including a new Amazon distribution center!

I can tell you about the hot and up and coming areas like the entertainment district in Gastonia and the NFL/MLS training center being built in Rock Hillor the new Casino in Kings Mountain - all great places to invest right now.

I paid them an arm and a leg to put a new AC in and 2 months later its leaking again.Apparently they did not clean the drain when they installed a new AC so it clogged and ruined tenants belongings.

😅Ask yourselves a few questions including the following:Do you want a similar-sized retail center for your development/acquisition?

I was watching a video recently that was discussing commercial appraisals and a shopping strip center.

With retail centers in a state of flux right now with current and ongoing Covid workouts lenders do not have much appetite for those properties.The fact the properties are paid off is great.
