My question is how to apply the 50% rule and cashflow rule properly for analysis.For example, applying the 50% rule on a property that I'm looking at, the cashflow comes in at around $150/unit , a base hit - short of the $200/unit home run.However the CoC is a whopping 20% and the gross rents are around $300 / unit ... which according to the multi webinar I just watched are both in grand slam territory.
