Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good cap rate?
A good cap rate typically ranges from 4-10%, depending on the market and property type. Higher cap rates indicate higher potential returns but may also come with higher risk.
What is the 1% rule?
The 1% rule suggests that monthly rent should be at least 1% of the purchase price. For example, a $200,000 property should rent for at least $2,000/month. This is a quick screening tool, not a definitive analysis.
