Ben L. offered solid advice about how to think about cap rates in his post.5.

Using the wise words of Ben Mallah, "Sell it and take the little bit of profit and move on"

@Ben Sears  You mention both are listed over comps for the location. 

Thank you for the reply @Ben Sears!

He did not at any point notify us that we were not fulfilling our obligation of maintaining the lawn properly so even if he did send over a crew multiple times to maintain it (which living there we saw no evidence of this), can he truly just pass that expense through to the tenants? 

Welcome Ben and congratulations.

Hey @Ben Mellakh I'm a GC based in Cypress, PM me with the details of your current projects and hopefully we can do business together. 

Pickens Hey Ben- If you could provide some details about the deal like property type, cost, cap rate, estimated renovation cost, rent, etc... can’t really answer your question without knowing any details.

@Ben Boss When you are  buying 1st property as primary residence you don't need landlord experience.

To answer your question on the Tucson job growth, here's Ben's post on that: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/58...Tucson is a great market and is growing rapidly.
