You get CF plus appreciation over the long haul. 

And even back then, the security of NNN was suspect in my mind, given that formerly huge companies like toys R us, Sears, Blockbuster, etc. have gone bankrupt.

You got to be willing to deny, even if little Billy next door gets this amazing toy.

Not sure if you are talking about getting to that quickly or over the long-haul, but depending on your capital levels now, I may have an idea for you to take advantage of both the turnkey benefits but also of rolling your money a lot faster to get to your goals.

I'm a car guy so part of my financial independence will be rewarding myself with the "toys" I want...but I'm very much so more in the camp of doing this in a more fiscally responsible way (ie paying cash) rather than taking on loads of debt. 

If you're young enough and in it for the long haul, then any market can work.

RE: finding a bookkeeper -- ironically, I now work for the company I hired out my bookkeeping to (yes, I loved them that much!) 

Lowe’s did all the installation haul away, and coordination with the tenant.

At least you will take plenty of time and financial freedom to haul your kids to soccer practice.

Then consider garage at 250 ( classic car or toy guy), then add parking/storage at @75 each.
