I am trying to sell my 2 unit and garage and a few people are coming back saying the cap rate doesn't match and the numbers do not work.

Is there a certain range in cap rates cash on cash returns or any other metrics that investors in the BP marketplace typically look for ?

What are area cap rates?

This is one of my favorite features of Bigger Pockets especially for asking specific questions.

Hopefully by that time we'll have a work around since the area our 4 unit is in is experiencing rapid appreciation and I would hate to be capped on it down the line.

This is well below the cap rates on the market indicators for 95112 which is generally the case when a building has significant upside.

Asking price is $200k, gross annual income is $46k, with expenses that meet the 50% rule, making the cap rate about 11%.

I feel like if the contract was worded in a way that it could not exceed a certain percentage cap of the agreed upon contract price, then the contractor would say it cost that percentage over budget every single time to add profit for himself.

It depends on your local market as to whether they are a positive or negative feature of your property.

go with a FHA loan they do 96.5 percent financing with a 3.5 percent down payment and the rates are at 20 yr lows like 3.25 percent also with multifamily I was actually going to do the same thing and the really only thing they take into consideration is will it be owner occupied so like you said it would I don't see any problem with it but with that being said it must be 4 units or less can't be more than 4 and the amount cap that they will lend differes but is still a great amount
