It was a pain, but in the end, I came out ahead as there are rent caps in the area and got good tenants. 

Basic stuff like LTV, NOI, cap rate, etc...There are a few report types missing and you can't split expenses yet.

Success: stablized a great industrial IOS deal to a 12 cap.

Congrats on your success in acquiring the duplex that now will yield 6.5% cap at current lower rental rates. 94115 is a great zip code to be in.

This needs to happen in the cities with demand and in the cities that have no demand, but only after there's incentive for companies to grow in those cities.If you're a small cap company with less than 5,000 employees, limited debt, then these cities in the middle of Arkansas, Ohio, some other **** state, need to incentivize you to come here and move/create your HQ here.

I’m in CA also and paid cap gains on huge profits to the tune of 28%, which included CA state cap gains.

Expect rates to be higher with CLTV capped at 70%. 

If you live in an area with caps on rent increases, it is so important to increase it every year or you will find yourself well below market values with long term tenants. 

From what I've been reading, cap rate is not a reliable metric for STRs.

It seems like I need to check further away from the DMV area.My feelings are if you want “cash flow” you should buy a bond (I really like the tips rate right now) there is next to no reason to buy real estate for cash flow, if you are going to buy you should buy with appreciation in mind, which is not to say that’s the route I’d go, I’ve been liquidating properties to put in stocks and money market funds over the last few years and u just did the math and I’ve come out well ahead, but just to say there are arguments for stocks/bonds, there are arguments for levered appreciation, but the cap rates pretty much anywhere aren’t worth it vs an inflation protected bond, especially since a 3/rd of inflation is real estate anywhere, you could get “cash flow” and inflation protection much easier through a tips.
