This is why we are almost exclusively a B/B+ turnkey operator, it is very difficult to find the kind of deals in A areas that leave enough margin for instant equity to compensate for the reduced cash flow (due to high loan payments, high property taxes, etc).

Now we are looking to expand our business so we can have more time flexibility for what ever lies ahead.

We are finding it difficult to find desirable investments at this time.

Good luck with your learning and remember we are all learners!

We are at the end of a 10 year swap on a original $4.2 mil loan.  

Right now we are finding rates in the upper 4% range for a 10 year lock.

We are both buyers and private lenders (our own funds) on lower $ ARV SFR properties throughout the U.S. 

In the interest of presenting an alternate approach from @Matt Faix and others, the only time we really look at the {market} CAP rate is when we are preparing to divest.
