Hi all

I am beginner and looking for my first deal. I have been listening to the BP podcasts and have downloaded a few spreadsheets to determine COC and Cap rates, but when i use the following criteria that i heard on a BP podcast to eval a MF, i have yet to find a positive COC, or marginal COC! (i live in NJ and have been looking local, but have also tried some in other states)

I use the following criteria below- any advice to adjust the numbers would be helpful...thanks

@hugo alves i live in westfield... and looking for properties. 

For those of you that do syndicates, what criteria do you use to evaluate the offerings. For example here is one that I am considering off Crowdstreet- looks reasonable to me but this would be my first time doing it so curious what red flags to look out for. After i get my feet wet i will turn to MFH but i need to get my wife to ease into it...

any advice would be greatly appreciated

thanks all
