I'm considering:- Industrial - Apparently this is where the smart money is going in my market, but I don't know the first thing about making a good play here- Health care - Pretty much recession proof but it's hard to compete with the REITs for quality product- Office - Terrible in my market, might be good in others- Restaurants/bars - Cap rates almost as low as residential for quality local tenants, and much lower for NNNsWhere are you guys seeing high cap rates and good outlooks?

@Mansoor FazelCongratulations, and compliments on a great choice.  

be very cautious as you vette them.. but you should be able to get into leveraged deals were your consistently making 50 to 100% or more on your cash.. do that for enough years then start to peel into cash flow units once you have a few hundred grand saved up and you just use a little of that... and or invest with a group and buy repositioning properties that have major upside.. don't get bogged down buying small rentals that have no upside its just way to slow of a way for someone like you to get to where you want to be if your smart enough at 25 to be knocking down 135k a year ) that puts you in the top 3% of all wage earners already... keep focused on that.. remember RE is just not that easy to duplicate those numbers without serious value add..those at buy smaller rentals are looking for a 10 to 30 year plan... and they plan on keeping their day job...

One lender actually said 100% but the rates are much higher, others won't take that risk so they don't offer it,Only one had a program that on the draws I could ask for what they called 'fixed rate advance' that puts the draw into a fixed rate for term (ie 15,30,20,etc) my choice.

Well-qualified tenants have lots of choices, just like well-qualified car buyers can walk into any dealership and buy a car.  

We are both smart and educated, we will find jobs but not quickly.

But I think the smart thing is to pause.

I'm getting started very late in this game; and I find that it is full of talented, young, smart-working, savvy investors.

@Davon LoweryI learned in Tallahassee, Florida that it is a buyers choice on which title company to use.
