In the section discussing Cap Rates, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around why this statement is true: "Cap rates on stabilized properties tend to be higher than cap rates on properties that require value-add"My internet search and search through BP forums leads me to believe that stabilized properties should have lower cap rates....The disconnect here is you are attempting to compare apples to oranges: cap rates for a "value add" versus "class A."
