@Terry Lao yeah seems cap rates are being 'compressed' all over as they say.

Keep in mind that at the lower interest rates of today, there has been significant cap rate compression.

Most today are buying a stressful job (landlording) and not even getting paid for it.Rent to value ratios in my market have been too low to buy off the MLS for a long time.In some markets the R/V ratio is still good, but appreciation will most likely be less, reducing your overall IRR.On the commercial side, cap rates have been compressed to about the same return as AAA corporate bonds. 

I saw a recent deal advertised at some really good looking returns, but when you dig into the numbers the returns would only happen if everything continues to boom and cap rates continue to compress.

And while there's been some compression in commission rates, it's still a little obscene when they are transacting multi-multi-million dollar properties.

Despite the recent sell off in medium to long term interest rates, multifamily cap rates continue to compress along most of the east cost.

Dave the money to start affects your options.If you are buying sub 2 million range cap rates tend to be more compressed because of a larger buyer pool wanting to move into commercial from residential and get more passive.

Though I'm employed full-time, I do have longer weekends than most (thanks to a compressed work week), and am seeking to utilize my time off to provide value to others, while obtaining a foothold in the business along the way.

For a national chain with near 0 risk)Anyway, in a low yield market, CAPs get compressed. 

If anything, I got the wrong kind of laminate...it's the kind that's basically compressed particle board or something, so even small spills make the edges of the boards kinda peel.
