Another project involved taking down walls and new mechanicals.I am looking for experienced GC's (at least 10 projects completed) with verifiable projects/references.My main area of focus is Central NJ.

I've tried searching for this information on the Internet, but haven't had much luck since the search results aren't very specific, mainly stating that the definition of a "good" cap rate varies by location.Does anybody know what a "good" cap rate would be for single-family homes in the Pensacola area?
