Cap Rate, Cash On Cash Return, then IRR. 

This friend and I have done 2–3 deals together, and there’s never been a payment dispute or even a hint of cutting him out of something.

For down payment, plan to need 30-40%.

Purchase price: $450,000 Cash invested: $450,000 Centrally located near Shopping, Entertainment, Transportation and much more.

If you have an immediate need for a large sum of cash, I'd lean cash out.

Some markets are better for cash flow.

Purchase price: $375,000 Cash invested: $87,000 STR What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Or just any suggestions for the best bang for your buck areas that offer at least a little cash flow and appreciation ?

While they generally have higher market Cap Rates than Class A properties, it is still variable whether they will have good cash flow or be an appreciation play.Class C Property:Continuing down the scale, Class C properties are generally 20 to 30 years old, and pull in blue-collar and moderate-to-lower income tenants who will generally be renters for life.

Fast Turnaround: Unlike long-term rentals, you can cash out quickly and reinvest.
