Availability of financing for a single tenant restaurant depends upon the tenant and lease terms as well as location/demographics. 

Look for markets with a good combination of cash flow and strong economic/demographic fundamentals.There are several cash flow markets in the Midwest but I like Kansas City and Indianapolis.

This is going to be directly East inland, so you're still going to be working with similar demographic classes and property types, but a lower purchase price with better numbers.

Just out of curiosity, what is the demographic in that area where this property is?

And that market rents fast, huge renter pool, working-class demographic for the most part, middle of DFW - great place to be. 

Picking the right location is the most important piece of criteria to achieve your goal (have the best chance at recouping every dollar you put into a property back in 8 years of less).If you pick a property in a strong location, with strong demographics, with population growth, with job opportunities, etc - Then you will very likely do great on your investment in 8 years.

Study the area’s demographics and potential tenants’ needs and interests.

The upper half of Atlanta MSA area tends to have better counties demographic, income wise, etc.Did you get a file on the tenants such as their ability to pay with 3 times income versus rent ratio?

These states are a function of the size and also the demographics of each of these states.

Typically, you will either get a credit tenant without a ton of lease term, or a tertiary market, or limited rent bumps, etc.So the things I consider in no particular order(not that I am a well versed NNN investor):- Tenant credit- Lease Term (current term and any extensions)- Tenant Sales (and understand what a successful sales volume is, or ratio to rent + NNNs)- Is building current tenant style (i.e. new Chipotle's have "Chipotlanes" for drive-up pickup, so buying an old format is that much more likely to not renew)- Demographics of new locations vs yours (i.e.
