Personally I think cap rate is not worth considering in properties under 5 units, I would base it off a gross rent multiplier, but then again I've never done anything with condo's and am unfamiliar with that investment structure.

I think they were putting the value so high because the agent assumed it was 10k ft. he just multiplied that by the avg. sales price. 

I have 1 rental property that has significant equity and I am looking to multiply my investment.

In order to arrive at an estimated value of tax deductions for a rental property would you:A) Add up your annual depreciation, operating expenses and mortgage interest and then multiply that amount by your current tax bracket for actual cash value.

Those relationships can have a multiplier on the capital you have available.

Take the rent amount, multiply it by 75%, and make sure that number is higher than your departing residence PITI.- No law says that you can't sell a home with a tenant in it.

When they don't sell the loan to the secondary market and instead, portfolio the loan, that small monthly payment they are forgoing multiplied by 5,000 loans makes that small monthly payment a large monthly payment that they are losing out on.

I figure my return by multiplying monthly cashflow by 12, and dividing by my down payment, so I guess it's annual.

(divide 50 by 12, then take the 15th root, it's 9.98%) The effect of the CoC should be added on top of this, a spreadsheet with IRR function will help.Frank I'm not following, 12000 invested at 10% should earn 1200/year multiplied times 15 years is $18000 right?

Hi, OK, call the assessor and get the tax current liability for the property. divide that by 365 and then multiply that number by the number of days you owned the property, including the date of sale.
