your standards

to those of you who buy and hold, do you base your purchases on the market cap rate or just your personal standards.

I mean, if you are getting a property that beats the market but is only giving you a 8.5 cap does this fall in line with your criteria or do you hold strong at 10 cap even if the market is giving 8?

this is assuming the property still fits your cash flow standards and your cash ROI.

Own criteria. Market cap rates rarely seem to work for actually making money.
