Trying to explore if there are still pockets in Nova where the returns make sense, given the high prices.Nova is extremely low risk, which is why cap rates are so low, the issue I honestly see with nova right now is the cap rates are often times below what you could get in a bond, and leverage is hurting you right now, I wouldn’t say I Would recommend not investing in nova or investing in high risk market, but personally I’d rather get something in the 5-7 cap rate range and take on slightly more risk to do so. 

Balloons coming due with higher interest rates, China market, China production, Manufacturing production moving back to the US, Worker shortages, Workert pay hikes, Ukraine/Russia food and fertilizer misses, Oil prices increasing due to the OPEC Q1 production curtailments in place, Houthi issues, Panama Canal Water issues, Illegal immigration impact (buy one of those office buildings and rent for $10mm per year for Illegal housing, take advantage) social benefits required, Climate change believe it or not- Buy or sell into that thought process,  US politics, Baby boomers leaving workforce and needing more benefits, Baby Boomers moving from Stocks to Bonds,  etc.I agree things will get worse, but that means more investing opportunities. 

What have you done to strengthen your mindset, and how can I stay disciplined to get better at investing?

amerika incarcerates more people than any other country. so not unusual. everyone deserves get honest chance qualify for a safe place live. 5. if really uncertain any felon tenant can get bonded to lower risk and should require renters insurance and pay security deposit. just  like all other qualifing candidates even dirt bag govt workers who make these dumb regs into law.6. 

imagine you’ve decided to invest in company bonds:        You see Coke, Pepsi, Tesla, Apple are all paying 5-7% but that’s not good enough.

If the market softens, you have a defined rent, but if it strengthens, you can't increase rents beyond what is defined in the term.As noted, NNN is a broad classification, so you need to read all leases to understand what is covered and what isn't.  

I will throw DJT back in the 80's with his version of junk bonds, I mean syndications (as they are now called for the smaller players).

There is also one big issue with your tax projection - the taxes of $280 are based on the vacant land taxes and will likely go up to ~$2000-$3000 in a year or so when the assessor catches up with you.I realize there is a 1031 involved so a real estate purchase is necessary, but you should compare your ROI to a safe yielding instrument like a 10 year T-note or AAA corporate bond yield. 

Prior,  it was in inflation adjusted bonds.
