Also, find out more about the area and what type of clientele it attracts.

NNN are looking attractive as you can still get some good ones with CAPS above 7%.

I’ve noticed that some of the shopping centers have been improved and some slight development starting to take place.My question is, do you all think Oxon Hill will provide the appreciation over time in addition to attracting a quality tenant?

Rising median income, job creation and population growth are metrics I didn't even considered when thinking about this, but they make a lot of sense.Thank you also for sharing the agent's name, I'll take a look at Columbus, seems to be an attractive and popular location for real state investing.Thanks again for sharing this! 

The quality of them PM is one thing, but it only gets amplified by the quality (or lack thereof) of the properties and the resulting quality of the tenants.If you were to illustrate this with math it would look like this:  0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 = your result.The answer to your question is obvious, but frankly easier said than done: buy quality properties with few repairs, they will attract great tenants with few issues and even a mediocre PM will do just fine.The allure of cheap cash flowing properties is real: After I had invested all my original capital I bough a few cheaper properties in Milwaukee (this was around 2010, so they were really cheap) and fortunately traded out of them within a couple years - it taught me a lot!

This was very attractive to me because it's a very old property (1914), in good shape but with deferred maintenance, a past electrical fire, and some other issues that are relatively minor.I had stated I could offer an owner carry. 

The cheaper properties while attractive are more difficult to finance.
