No qualified commercial loans based on current interest rate and cap rate offered.To solve the problem, either the rate has to come down significantly (probably not going to happen in a few years), or the cap rate has to go up to 10s, which means the price has to be cut by almost half.For those folks that has a maturing commercial mortgage, they can not refinance based on today’s rate.

Revisiting this post, I would strongly recommend any service-based business where you can buy in at a low EBITDA multiple.

@Gavin WynnI would get the gas sub-metered so you can bill the tenant based on usage.

Evaluate cities based on job growth, population growth, rent-to-price ratios, cap rates, and vacancy rates.

@Elliot B.I doubt a energy meter based on airflow, heat - etc - of any variety - would hold up if challenged in a court of law - 

I think so many of these responses are based on made up hypothetical’s and not real life, I don’t think the vast majority of people are out to marry someone only for money & I certainly don’t think you want to get married assuming divorce but in the real world life is long people can be married for decades and something can change people can grow apart, you can even have a contentious divorce where getting the money becomes as much about hurting the other person as getting the money itself, I don’t think there should be any shame in making that even in a good marriage that if you grow apart you don’t put yourself in financial jeopardy.

I have been receiving listing from brokers offering cap rates of 3-7% in almost all 50 states, for different lease terms and guarantors.I am trying to analyze those deals in an efficient manner - weeding many deals or brochures early on, and understanding the out of state location well.Because the cap rates are all over the place (based on tenant, location and lease term), I struggle to understand if a property is fairly priced, as it is not easy to come up with a "general" cap rate to apply to each NOI.Does anyone have resources (books, podcasts, blogs) that they can share that gives pointers when analyzing NNN properties?

My goal is to scale up over the next few years and add another 10-20 doors.I ran across someone that is saying they are building quadplexes in the same town in Texas as my current rentals there, so I have some support system there.High level this is the idea on the deal:4 units constructed as 2 duplexes on one parcel.1250sqf 3/2/1 units$650k sale price, CME is $820k according to builder, will have a independent CME done if/as I move forward.Rent per unit is $1750 based on the other quad in the developmentBest guess at this point is about $16k/year cash flow at a 9.5% cap rate.Builder is a sister company of a established company in a related industry that has done "some" builds before but not a lot.
