I'm considering:- Industrial - Apparently this is where the smart money is going in my market, but I don't know the first thing about making a good play here- Health care - Pretty much recession proof but it's hard to compete with the REITs for quality product- Office - Terrible in my market, might be good in others- Restaurants/bars - Cap rates almost as low as residential for quality local tenants, and much lower for NNNsWhere are you guys seeing high cap rates and good outlooks?

You pay now or pay later.I have heard that this issue is one that puts off some investors, yes it can be a hurdle but not a bar to becoming an investor.
