Now for the CRE owner, I do agree if you can find a value add 1031 deal at a good price, then you should buy it and the 1031 at $750 range is a much better deal!

Wow yes I feel like I'm hearing first-hand how wrong it could go, but I have a few questions and concerns if my standards will follow suit of the unlucky investors:-For sure I would want to work with Class A or B rentals (I had a property 5 min from my home and the tenant was HORRIBLE, so a reliable renter is CRUCIAL), but not sure if my price range would find such a tenant.

There is a wide range of sectors within commercial real estate.

Then you can see where your property would fall in relation to the comps (or if you are bringing a property online, you can see what you have to do to get to the higher range of the comps).

@Nicholas DillonRentometer can give you a rangeZillow also can give a rangeThe best source would be to call a loc a property manager or realtor and have them also give you a range as at end of day they will have most recent and updated numbers and have a better feel for where the market is at

This leaves me $700/mo (plus $200/mo in reserves) to pay myself, which seems high for a “house hack”.Hindsight being 20/20, I may have bought out of my price range.

I also checked in our executive meeting and your property is being marketed $100 above the range we gave you and has a resident application.

They range from 50 units to 500 units.
