Also use Placer.ai stats to compare both properties, local demographics, median income etcOur experience on the lending side is that if gross sales are consistent over last 3-years, under writers will consider this incomeI would definitely consider option-1 based on tenants sales, NOI and how stable the restaurant is running.

I won't be investing in the riskiest/most supportable asset subclasses such as hotels, and tilt my portfolio the ones that have historically been more stable such as multifamily and single-family housing.

There's no shame in working at fast food or anywhere else to have a stable life - you do what you have to do.

In Miami,  T3 zoned properties are sitting on the shelf while T4+ and unincorporated properties get snatched up at asking price.

You're better off building a stable tenant base with long-term renters for more predictable income and less turnover.

@Minji KimRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which is VERY important for stable rental income and low property maintenance/damage.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

All of them would have strong pillars that go into the ground, so it's stable and safe but has a treehouse look.

You can be ready to acquire properties at a discount from those forced to sell due to cash flow issues​.Focus on Cash Flow Today: With BRR"R"RR, you are prioritizing properties that cash flow from the start, making your investment stable and less reliant on speculative future appreciation or short-term market shifts.

Prices here are more stable than they have been in Calgary and Edmonton (we haven't seen the large appreciation, but we also didn't see the price drop that they did a while back).
