[Calc Review] Analyzing student rental - use cap rate?
Should I be using the cap rate to analyze student rentals? Each property is different because they are usually converted houses. Some are one big house with 3-6 bedrooms. Others have been split into separate units with their own kitchens and utility meters. Given the different structure of each unit I was thinking it might be better to use the cap rate. My vacancy % is low because 99% of student housing has been booked for next school year. The signing period opens in September for the following year. This particular property is rented through 2020 so I know what my income will be for the next 2 years.
Am I missing anything? Does this look like an ok deal?
