I've been happy with it. it's fairly steady if you diversify and study the various websites that crunch the data.

I think it's a question of timing and speed - for example, going back to the 2007-2009 credit crunch period when commercial mortgage backed security (CMBS) spreads increased 1.5%+ (much much wider at the lower end of the credit spectrum), there was an immediate impact on cap rates.

If I may I would like to share that in Texas I use the 1% rule on residential homes as a quick way to determine an estimate of the PITI before I crunch anymore numbers when figuring whether there will be any cash flow and the estimated amount of cash flow.

You will have to crunch the numbers yourself to see what makes sense.

I crunched the numbers quite a while ago and came up with something >10%.
