I recc NNN-multi-tenant large shopping centers that due cost segregation analysis at purchase to get maximum depreciation up front.

We’re getting a small shopping center installed supposedly by the end of the year (Marshall’s, Tractor Supply, Grocery Outlet) plus investments in a second “downtown” strip. 

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment in Richland Center.

I'd say stay around the university or medical center, but you'd have a hard time finding a property that cash flows at 8% interest.

Many people outsource this effort to call centers - because they would rather pay to have someone else do that dirty work.  

The larger retail centers are more management intensive.

It's only about 19 min from the big new Facebook Data Center, which doesn't sound too bad to me. 

Often not as much as retail centers with lots of property management but still takes work, knowledge, and skill.I have a whole process I have developed to assess risk.Hope it helps
