Originally posted by @David Faulkner: ...So, not saying it is necessarily a good deal or bad deal, only that there are many, many things to be considered beyond just day one cash flow and that investors can and should tailor their strategy with ALL of these considerations in mind....To some investors the question is this: if the long term growth rate in LA property values is 7.14% per year, is that worth the pain of a 50% down payment on a $750,000 property just to achieve a 3% cap rate?

Painful.

I will never do anything in the city of portland again.. its just too painful...
