The cap rate is 7.8% and price per square foot is $285, which also seems to be lower than much of what is on the market for renovated houses- new renovations are ~$400+ I'm projecting our ROI will be 8.8%, using the current rents.We're having an engineer inspect the house tomorrow, and our lawyer is reviewing the leases...
