@Mark Miles is 100% correct, during Covid, NYC and Philly investors ate them up.

I had an older building similar to what you are describing and the electric from the common area, gas, water, and lawn care, quickly ate up a significant portion of my cash flow.

Although the value had doubled in the 6 years since I bought the place, the expenses of getting it move-in ready ate into much of the appreciation.

For example, is there a way to see how many people are looking to look for a place to rent in an area or to see how many people ate renting condos in an area.

Proper, CBIZ and Foremost ate the big players.I found Foremost to be the best bang for the buck.

All of that ate into returns.What I LOVE about NNN is that with a single tenant investment grade the lease is backed by thousands to tens of thousands of locations.

@Sharon Rosendahl Lancaster, Ohio meets your criteria to a tee...35-min outside Columbus.

Ate a lot of Quaker Oats made with creek water and nothing else. $.50 a week would buy a box of that.

In TN it's considered "ate" on the 5th, but I sent them a email reminding them of the late fee and letting her know of the "Pay of Vacate Notice". 

Keep the tents the same, and inform your tenants that you ate doing so.Don't tell tenants why, just inform them that you have decided not to do so at this time.You are the good husband, and the great landlord!
