But as I often say, these kind of rankings are part art and part science … so the beauty of any conclusion drawn from this analysis is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

Cap rates are very low right now because appreciation has been strong (which drives up prices without corresponding cashflow) and interest rates are down (which increases buying power per $ spent).Going forward, rents will probably climb as the inefficiencies in the market catch up, interest rates climb, and a greater percentage of the population is unable to purchase homes. 

I remember eyeing real estate then wishing but I couldn't even pay all my bills.

I started with sending out letters saying I was looking to purchased, realized where most of my calls came from and started driving around looking at places that caught my eye.

So I decided to go online to find out what rich people do with small sums, like $10K.A Kris Kohn video appeared and he mentioned that you could buy a small business and possibly put only $10K down.I’ve found a few websites that caught my eye and there was a Pizza Place that appeared in my area.Now, I have significant knowledge working in an industrial kitchen because that was my primary job in the military, so I know what everything should look like, but I don’t have a lot of knowledge about a civilian Pizza shop directly.

Uhm, maybe you need to take a step back, read what you wrote with some fresh eyes.

Always recommend to be ready to make a quick trip though to put your own eyes on it in person during the inspection period.

Like the IRS wouldn't catch that in an audit.
