I suspect SM will have better appreciation than Texas, but that is of course speculation.

@Sam Rogers best wishes on a peaceful resolution.I haven't had this experience so am only speculating.

Its all speculative.

I've always been focused on the cash flow, not the speculation.  

I do know that DG salaries are kept really, really low at the store level....so any sort of tenant responsible facilities support for a NNN lease would be either outsourced or taken care of by someone over an area.What I mean by that is given the low wage of their employees (lower paid employees are HARD on facilities because they don't respect the job or the property), and the minimal/slow to respond regional facilities support means your building might get unnecessarily and prematurely worn.This is all speculation, but given your fairly low cap rate I'd advise a relook.

Like I said though, it's pretty speculative 

The deal must be reviewed by the city to be allowed to move forward- currently highly overvalued market by all metrics, price to income etc - low appreciation and returns compared to emerging EU member states and US(most RE companies offer annual returns around 10% (minus high taxes) for high risk speculative investments)- extreme anti landlord legislation Basically, if you love France and want a secondary residence sure go ahead, but otherwise, given the number of attractive alternatives available at the moment, i don't see any valid reason to invest in France unless you are french and unable to invest elsewhere.

I'm wholesaling so I'll take into consideration for the buyer.One could speculate that troop levels will to continue to decrease, but when you look at the world conflicts an increase could be also.

Buying properties with negative cash flow and hoping for appreciation is speculation.

No need to speculate.
