  ( oh and to back up we could never serve her so we went for a summary judgement and lost that)  Judge made us advertise .. that cost a bundle.. so now here we are 2 plus years later.. 

Something built 5 years ago can probably go with a low CapEx, while something built 50 years ago, and is still hobbling along on the same appliances, will likely see some big expenses coming up soon.I have looked at dozens of properties, and not a single time have I found that my calculation of Cap Rate matches the advertised Cap Rate.
