I actually use all caps and bold font when spelling out HUGE PROFIT.

The other is a local bank offering a 5 year ARM at 2.2. 2% annual cap 10% lifetime cap.

Is it important to consider Cap Rates for single family rentals?

It seems like the average cap rate is 7-8% but I have seen some as high as 10-11℅.

Vacancy, property management, maintenence/repairs, cap ex, and any neighborhood association fees are the main ones I'm thinking of.

A lot of people from BP in this market get stuck on analysis and don't understand that they're not going to see 10% cap rates.

My question is if that same strategy can be applied to the Bay Area as cap rates are so low here. 

Look at all the FAKE cap rate numbers that are posted here multiple times every day.  

There was same Cap Rate as Apartment.
