Ifyou want to be a big player, and don’t mind risk, use leverage.

Luckily the 10-12 national players have a nationwide reach.

They are huge players in the markets.

You can be a player or a spectator, your choice.

Landlords who prioritize profits over basic cleaning and maintenance, are by definition a slumlord:"A slumlord is a derogatory term for a landlord, generally an absentee landlord with more than one property, who attempts to maximize profit by minimizing spending on property maintenance, often in deteriorating neighborhoods, and to tenants that they can intimidate." 

I would say I’m still a small player in this game but I ’m buying my first NNN buildings for large chains.

Feel as though you need to be an elite player to really make your investment a homer here, and that means making your listing stick out/pop and having tremendous management. 

Ensure these meet safety standards and are properly maintained.Always prioritize safety, especially with pool areas.

But am unsure how to know which would be the best to prioritize my search based on market analysis.

I feel that the big players in town are able to do it way cheaper because of the constant work Flo they have for their subs and therefore commending cheaper rates.
