Christopher James The rental real estate market

Of course, with only 1 vacant unit, it's probably a decent property in a decent market and location, not a D asset in a war zone.SFH isn't performing as well these days.Rents are going up, and finding qualified tenants is not a problem (we always have a replacement tenant lined up with lease signed and SecDep collected before the previous tenant moves out), but the metrics have suffered due to rising SFH values.Where we used to be at a GRM around 8.33 (or so-called "1% rule"); thereby yielding a 6.6 Cap assuming a 45% OER, prices have increased disproportionately to rents and our portfolio Cap Rate is now closer to 5.5% or lower (fact is, even if your SFH is fully remodeled like ours are and therefore have very little R&M or Replacement Reserves, NH RE Taxes are high enough to put you at or near 45% OER).Not that I'm complaining about our asset values heading up (it's about time the RE recovery came to the tertiary markets of NH), but the ROE it's causing is tough to live with; especially given the lost economies of scale when comparing a portfolio of SFH to a large MFH complex.
