Default Re: Making an offer on a SFR

Are you buying this home primarily for an investment or will you be living there? The tenor of your posts has led me to think that you wanted to live there - am I mistaken?

In either case, my opinion is that cap rates are not usually the best way to judge the viability of a single family residence for investment purposes. And if you're not renting out to someone then I think that there are probably other better ways to decided whether to buy than cap rate.
