Hello Everyone,I have a full time job working at Apple in the Bay and I have been involved in real estate investing.

Using an annualized ROI based on the "all cash" acquisition,rehab,and other costs allows you to compare apples to apples.

I also have car magnets.

The catch is the CAP is generally only as good as its inputs and to be certain you are comparing apples to apples {even then, you will likely have Spartans, Dudleys, and Honeycrisps} the CAP rate for each cash-flow needs to be determined using the same methodology.
