It very rarely goes to '0'.Regarding the 50% rule, this is a rule of thumb, and as with most rules of thumb it serves as a yardstick with which one can make decisions more quickly as well as a safety net when someone doesn't have enough information or how to use it.Here's an example on the deal I'm working on currently.I have a big spreadsheet I use to analyze investment potential into which I plug various variables including interest rate forecasts, etc...

You are correct, the yield is what has attracted me to this deal, I hate to just make assumptions and not take the necessary steps to analyze it and determine properly if it's worth the risk.Any guidance you can give is greatly appreciated.

I am not necessarily looking to buy the property just wanted some insight on how to analyze such a deal. 

I always analyze deals based on the unleveraged cap rate.

Made offer on one and will analyze the others this weekend.

When comparing and analyzing properties, we prefer to use the "Cash-on-Cash" (COC) return rather than the Return on Investment (ROI).

I don't intend on purchasing this, I am really just trying to practice analyzing larger multi-family deals.Keep in mind my calculations were done based on the list price.

First, you need to understand how to analyze a deal. 

Is today's webinar not live? Is it prerecorded from July 3rd? Will it still have Q+A after? Can't seem to log in to chat so I can ask questions.

Focus your time and effort in being really good at finding, analyzing and controlling good deals.
