Hi RenardonI don't really have a list of the Top three properties, but I do have a top one. 

My goal was to have the apartments fully rented so that I could refinance them when I returned stateside.My goal for the future:1.My goal is to incorporate the common areas into additional bedrooms for the apartments.a.1,100 sq ft of common area is unacceptable.2.Combine two of the single bedroom apartments into one three bedroom apartment.The local college built additional dorms, so more demand now for 2 and 3 bedroom apartments for families instead of one bedroom apartments for students.

I'm not an expert by any means but I have three properties now and each deal I do has a better return.
