@Rolando Reyes Jr Cap rates (8%+)Affordable properties with rents that work (can easily find properties that pass the 1% rule)Job growthPopulation growthA lot of jobs and schools (universities, hospitals, H&R Block headquarters, Amazon fulfillment center on Kansas side, Hallmark headquarters, Cerner medical tech company with 16k employees)Didn't get hit as bad as other cities during the recessionI also love it and would live there - that was what sealed the dealHappy to hop on the phone or chat via message to talk more about it.  

I was not the builder of this project but the fact that I am using this as backing gives me around 10-15m in equity and yearly income for expenses related to the new construction, and around 5 acres to build a second structure on.The town (New Haven County, Connecticut)  has approved plans to build apartments, and or medical offices on the site in the past, and they would more than likely be happy with an additional 60 units.

Welcome Crystal Minor I'm in the medical field as well and new to investing.

anyone interested in 10% cap rates in solid areas like frankford and west philly, temple medical strawberry mansion, contact me!

Huge job growth with extremely stable economy (government and university largest employers) with medical sector about to explode here and of course tech is booming as well.  11th largest city in the nation and predicted to double in size within 20 years. 

@Jameson Sullivan To find entry cap rates at 8%+ you will likely need to be in the lower B/C class assets in a secondary or tertiary market.

Sometimes things don't happen either unless there's a herd moving towards it either, all these corporations just copy each other for the most part with the same 401k, medical, vacation, etc. 

Otherwise see what the expected medical outcome is and if the son has power of attorney (or whatever you call it in the US where he can make decisions for her) and ask him if he want to cancel her lease. 

If you are seeking higher returns, the parks you will find that can provide the most upside will likely be 2-3 star parks, in secondary or tertiary markets, and come with some hair on them. 

Watching secondary and tertiary market cap compression is a great indicator of the U.S market as a whole.
