Columbus is a great town with a nice economy, and rents are pretty tight in columbus for C and above. 

BTW, these are all things that are needed to be successful in business anyhow, so having kids force you to do what is good for your business anyhow is not necessarily a bad thing.

I guess since I'm a newbie, info from someone like Grant can really impact me.

I just know that to minimize risk I'm going to have to force appreciation because in 2019 when those rentals are on the market I believe we are going to see the value drop on those multi-family holdings and even if I still have good NOI I don't want to see all my cash equity flushed away.

Most of all, you can't force a non-deal to be a deal... you make (or lose) most/all of your money when you buy! 

Name you as a party of "additional interest" so you can monitor the policy to make sure it stays in force.

When looking at structuring a deal with or without debt, tax impacts will largely hinge on the amortization of loan costs and interest expense.

They are more passive but you have to know a lot to buy right.For single tenant leases the length of the primary term lease left and credit of the tenant makes a big impact on financing.For most NNN you are looking at 25 to 35% down.

I like to know details about what I'm getting into before I do it.I'm currently serving in the U.S Air Force. 

I know the crime rate is high (maybe very high) and those are not what can be considered a "good neighborhoods" but how is that should impact my decision?
