Sometimes forums are hard to communicate in, but I agree with pretty much everything you said especially this part:  "Money can be ma(d)e anywhere in real estate but those that do analyze using ALL inputs."

Now you could have paid 30k for a home in KC, Memphis, Indy, virtually any of the soup de jour cash flow towns.. same time frame same price points.

For Bob this is bordering on a religious conviction that cap rates should be used only in the way he deems appropriate and us lessor mortals have no right to even spell the words on the forum.
