Connecticut Multi family. 2% rule and then some! A truly great one. I am so grateful for the relationship I built with the seller, as well as some great tenants who help keep this property providing huge rate of return for my portfolio. Thanks BP for the mortgage calculator!!

@William Collins. I am holding for cash flow because that seems to make the most sense from a dollars and cents perspective. If I could sell for $160k for cash, sure, I would probably sell, but I am not trying. The area is 7 miles from Uconn Storrs campus. I have two post Grad Students (age 25+) in their now. Great tenants for sure. @Kevin Siedlecki, thanks for keeping me in check. I might have been a little too sensitive the other day with @Brent Coombs. It's funny because those #'s I literally pulled (copy and pasted) from the actual BP Calculator. SO when asked about the specifics, I really didn't delve into the differences between purchase cap rate, and cap rate. You are correct in that valuation of $183k gives a 10 cap. It isn't worth $183k IN ANY WAY, except for the income approach. Meaning, if this asset were looked at as "commercial" (which it is not), the "value" would be $183k (resulting in a 10 cap, which is considered to be a decent rate of return in CT for most of us B&H investors) Make sense? My lesson of the day: Don't be sensitive when someone is asking questions :-) An sometime we learn more from being challenged, so thank you all for your input. I am so grateful for BP and what it allows us to learn, discuss, and inspire.
