Inflation ticks up slowly % rates waffle so that the impression is managed (poliics) small business closures (compression)  I think theres a whole generation that's gonna learn about economics (the hard way)FWIW I question how much interest rates are actually going to be driven by the bond market & stock market.

Wish i could find something with a better yield but everything is compressed right now.

@Andrew GirgisThe coastal urban markets have chronically suffered from cap rate compression and low returns, partly due to an extremely high demand, and partly due to demand from foreign investors who look at US real estate like a lot of people look at gold.  

Sounds nuts considering the rampant fee and rate compression in the market today. 

Once you start crossing 50-75-100 units then the cap rates compress significantly for similar class c product in the same market. 

So for investors, cap rates are pretty compressed. 

I live in Auckland, New Zealand which has experienced strong capital appreciation so the rental yields are compressed 2-3% gross yields.I purchased in Roseville, MI where the purchase price was much less than a deposit here.

Was cash flow pitiful but they just benefitted from a rising tide and 90%+ of the total return came from cap rate compression?

My job has regular shift (5 days x 8 hours = 40 hours) and compressed shift (4 days x 10 hours = 40 hours).

All I know is if NYC buyers start coming into the big urban centers in NJ and start buying and compressing cap rates it’ll be very good for me and other NJ investors.
