Yet, as I closely monitor the current housing market, I realize that stability and thorough due diligence are paramount before taking ownership.

More importantly, Paramount (Prestige Fund), a large player in the industry has stopped distributions and communication is awful. 

McDonalds might not allow a chicken restaurant or a Starbucks, Panda Express wants to exclude ALL Asian food (Thai, Pho, etc.) so it is paramount that you understand the exclusive use clauses in each of the leases in the property that you are buying and how it will affect your ability to re-lease your spaces when they do ultimately go vacant. 7.

Education is paramount and will help you learn a lot of the answers, or at least know how to ask the right questions when you come across someone who knows the business.

Personally, I think it is paramount to hire a designer to maximize your investment.

In my personal opinion location of the property is paramount at the moment. 

Considerations should include existing debts and liabilities associated with each property to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.Communication is paramount throughout this process.

Communication/transparency with both current and potential investors is paramount to gaining the trust of LP's.
