Hi Dave,The topic is 2 years old which you might not have noticed.Closed at a 7 must have been urban core in a highly desirable area.I am seeing trade at a 9 here with no rent bumps in the primary term.For anyone wondering many tenants are credit tenants.There is a huge difference in that INVESTMENT GRADE tenants are BBB- or higher.The ones below that are considered junk status by many lenders which doesn't make them a bad investment just harder to get financing and more to put down.The dollar stores (there are 3 big brand companies nationally) with other smaller regional knock offs are okay as long as you are not buying in obscure rural locations.The fronts are usually brick facade and the sides are sheet metal.You second and third generational tenant will not have the same per sq ft sales they will leaving you with less of a re-rental return.Having said this I have seen some very nice all brick ones where the city required a certain architecture and look to approve the building permits and process.Those typically run 1 million in price to 1.2 versus the cheaper ones in rural areas at 500k to 800k.

However, the cost-effectiveness of such a mandate is highly questionable, and the resources required for compliance may be better spent elsewhere.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

There is a lot of public info out there on their funds and how they are (not) performing.  

Now it is a pretty landlord friendly state.Ohio - property taxes are high relative to many other states but in many cities the rental rates are high (better cash flow) as a compared to the house price and therefore a relatively low price-to-rent ratio.
