I made it very clear in my original post that investing is an individual process, so this would encompass my ultra wealthy clients as well as my clients starting out.

I managed to dodge this problem because I worked primarily for the ultra-wealthy who don't care about these issues and/or are savvy enough to realize the value of letting the GC just do his job.

As a broker the perspective is how easy is the property going to be to sell and how fast will determine a lot.If the seller wants ultra top dollar and you have to make a hundred calls and pound the pavement for a month to find the one buyer will to pay that premium than that is worth a lot of commission.

The ultra wealthy tend to take CALCULATED risk each time they invest.

I have seen this done for ultra high end, very exclusive places but not low end.If you are worried about spinning your wheels on one-to-one showings, do bulk showings instead.

But with our nation giving tax cut handouts to corporations and the ultra wealthy like like candy at a kids birthday party we collectively ARE going to have to make that up somehow, someday.

I'm not saying this is the case everywhere, just pointing out that the 'hunt for yield' as they say has been going on for some time with ultra-low interest rates on deposits.

Do you really think there's a good argument for diving in and learning on the fly- especially in this ultra-competitive, yield starved, low-rate environment we are currently in? 

Then you can have tens of thousands in principal paydown as well year 1.You are not going to get 10,000 a month off of useable cash flow for 900,000 investment with a diamond NNN property and tenant especially in the 3 million range for STNL.If you were buying a 10 to 15 million property then the cap rate can rise some as pool of buyers is smaller so supply and demand.Many of my clients are high net worth or ultra high net worth.

It's a high risk game and that is why the payout can be so huge when it does work out.I have some ultra wealthy clients that (take a punt) on this kind of stuff.
