You should never buy a rental property based on projected appreciation neither on cap rates alone.You need to look at the actual NOI based on the books, and take into account:- the additional operating expenses that may occure after the transfer - the vacancy rate - the improvements quality, age and condition (calculate the replacement or repair costs over the next 20 years)- the accrued property taxes liability you will have to carry after the transferIf you take into consideration all these factors, i bet you won't find many properties with positive cash flow after debt collection and taxes
