20% Cap Rate??? 200%+ Cash on Cash ROI??? Am I Wrong Here?
I just calculated the cap rate for a property I'm going to develop within the next year: 20%
Here are the numbers:
$40,000 to build
$30,000 for the land
2 Units
Annual Gross Income: $24,000
NOI: $14,000 (conservative estimate as expenses will be low, as property will be brand new)
DCR: NA (all cash, no loan)
Cash on Cash ROI: 200%+
These numbers seem unrealistically fantastic. Am I to be worried that I'm miscalculating something somewhere? The property is also beachfront, so insane appreciation is to be expected, but is not a factor in the calculations.
If anyone is astronomically confused, the property is in Ecuador, South America.
Thanks for your input!

$40 k to build 2 units seems unrealistically cheap, even for just the slab up....let alone site work, permitting, impact fees, plans, engineering, etc.
