What is Smarter?

When you find a pretty solid SFR Buy n Hold investment property is reasonable to just look at the Cash on Cash return or should the market purchase price be a significant factor? The reason why I ask is with the current low interests you can find 10% cash on cash returns, but the purchase prices on the investment are at or approaching the previous bubble peak price.

Is this dangerous? What are your thoughts?
