Trying to explore if there are still pockets in Nova where the returns make sense, given the high prices.Nova is extremely low risk, which is why cap rates are so low, the issue I honestly see with nova right now is the cap rates are often times below what you could get in a bond, and leverage is hurting you right now, I wouldn’t say I Would recommend not investing in nova or investing in high risk market, but personally I’d rather get something in the 5-7 cap rate range and take on slightly more risk to do so.
