In the past when I've looked for purchases cap rates were reasonable enough that purchasing listed assets on the open market was attractive.Now, having disposed of some matured assets I'm in the hunt for acquisitions again and want to diversify the portfolio (rather than simply lever up into even larger properties) into a larger number of properties.

My recommendation is to find something not too far from home - if it's outside of a "reasonable" distance for you to drive to here & there, have someone else at your disposal.
