I'm a brand new wholesaler in the Tampa Bay area. 

We're very excited!  Today my wife and I just signed the papers to take ownership of our very first investment property; a duplex in Keizer Oregon (a suburb of Salem).  Thanks to this wonderful community and all you w...

Hi @Gabriel Santos-Colon, I am brand new to BP as well.

If you were looking for "safe" cashflow and ROI, would you look at a triple net lease with a nationwide brand as the tenant in a stand alone property?

Go with servicer/installer reputation first, then brand. 

Well, except some brand names that I owned that Warren Buffett's company said infringed on their brand.

Considering I'm basically brand new to REI, if I were to NEVER question or pursue options I don't already understand, I'd NEVER get anything done. 

From a high-level that process is: - know your goal and reason why - know the terminology - know how to run the #s - know how to find the good market and submarkets - build a brand - find team members - find investors - find deal - do right due diligence on deal -  close and do asset mgmt Investing in someone else's deal will be a little helpful just to see the process but I think the better approach would be to align yourself with the right people to help you work through the process I outlined above. 

Earlier this year I used Oliver from People's Electric (http://www.peopleselectrical.com/) for a complete rewire of a duplex during a full gut rehab.
