Minimum Market Population Size?

Hey everyone 👋

I'm curious what your desired population size/square mile is to feel comfortable when underwriting facilities?

I've read in AJ's book that they look for markets with 10k people/square mile (so 30k-50k population in a3-5 mile radius of a facility). Now I know AJ's team is buying in larger markets and he even started out in small towns, but what do you consider TOO SMALL??

For instance, I looked at a facility today with less than 1k people in 1 mile radius, 3k people in 3 mile radius and 5k people in 5 mile radius... The facility looks attractive due to lack of website, Google listing, secure facility, etc but I'm thinking the population is just too little. The NOI is stated to be $67k btw 💰
