Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc. 

That in itself is a skill and a needed over head component to keep from having investors get very antsy and then take to SM because they are not getting their e mails returned that day or next ..

You should contact a company in your area to convert the coin-op laundry to e-payments (Venmo, Paypal, Credit Card, Debit Card, etc.) to eliminate that fee.

These are rural counties so I was not expecting to get this back so quick.. my client e mailed me Tuesday we negotiated the deal ( bare land) I open escrow yesterday .
