Ohhhh I get it now, I was thinking in terms of the current NOI which is 132,000 and with the new 6.6 cap rate she was talking about this made me think the property was going to only be worth 2milWhat your saying is to forget about the old 132,000 annual NOI and now with the increase in rent this would bring my new NOI to 165,000 and with the 2.5mil PP which wouldn't change that would bring it to a 6.6 cap... so the property isn't worth less when I buy it I just get more cash flow since the opportunity to increase the rents is there.Still you can correct me if I am wrong but I think I got it now
