Low price point and stable market. it has not yet seen the highs and lows of some other areas.

.- It's in a stable MSA and our belief is at the right asking price the units will fill, but it's hard to forecast how long it will take to fill with tenants that meet our (reasonable) criteria and the correct asking rent.- We've spoken to some local PMs who share the belief it will fill within 2-3 months, but it's a matter of time, and landing on the right price.- The building is 10 small studios/1 bedrooms (~450 sf) Any guidance on how to evaluate something like this?

Commercial real estate investments can offer long-term returns that are both healthy and stable.

My usual stable of lenders have switched their guidelines to "cost" as opposed to the new appraised value of properties once we get them fully occupied.Thanks, Suhan

I am looking to make my income more stable through real estate investing.Right now I have around 30k on hand to make a cashdown and a few familly members ready to help me get a loan. 

Then the next one took about 4 more months and that was a $700k house that a friend was selling, maid around $10k, then it just became more stable and deals start to flow in slowy.

Ok,  so if a 10 Cap reflects a reasonably stable market in Springfield, AnyState, USA, the property's worth 100K.   4 years later, Mom & Pop have the same tenants, haven't raised the rents, and the market goes out of control. 

@Jenna Goldstein  Income that is stable and predictable and likely to continue is typically counted as qualifying income for a mortgage. 

I put some stuff on the highest shelf in my largest closet and kind of blocked it off.

Selling now will give you some short term income; holding long term (10/20/30years) will create stable retirement that will last the rest of your life.
