See if the in place tenants are STICKY.For example an office medical tenant has tons of tenant improvements and can be harder to relocate.

In 2011 my my wife and I wanted to change our fast paced life in NYC to something a bit slower, so we move to Coral Springs.I actually know the property very well , because my family and I lived in 1 of the units for two years.

But there are also places that might only need a bit of cosmetic work that the numbers will still work out if you want to take a slightly slower and simpler approach.Good luck out there, it's a crazy market to make your debut in.

Even undocumented kids in CA get free medical care. 

Also, you're in Europe, which makes building a team in another metro harder and communication slower, so here are my suggestions:1.

People retire, people do 1031 exchanges, liquidate, switch to different asset class, medical bills, loans..list goes on and on

I understand this site is geared toward the medical community but a lot of the information contained in the blogs can be applied to real estate investors too.

If you are flexible where you live and want positive cash flow you can find them in any city but the more boring slower growth cities are going to be easier to find deals and the high growth cities will have more competition. 

This was the first year with them, they did a good job although it was a bit slower this year than last for them to finish my taxes. 

If it is medical or student loan it is low risk, if it is consumer debt it is medium risk, if it is utilities or items that look like it could be prior landlord claims it is high risk.
