Cap rate compression is real, and the risk premium has been reduced. With all the capital trying to get into multifamily right now, your best bet is to pick markets with the best fundamentals (population growth, job growth, schools, infrastructure, etc.)

    @DongHui Patel Those great days are long gone. Here in Florida, I typically see 4-5cap with potential after value add proponents, could be 6-8 cap. The longer you wait to get in, the harder it is to build up your portfolio. Most investors are focusing on appreciation, and the rewards on the backside, not necessarily the cash flow at this time.

    Hate to break it to you, but generally not going to see those sort of cap rates in this economy. See a graph below of national trend. I recommend visiting Marcus and Millichap, NorthMarq, or CBRE sites and downloading their 2022 outlook. Should give you a good national overview.

    That ship has sailed. 馃榾

    Average cap rate nationwide is low 5%.

    Top markets like Austin DFW Phoenix now trade at 3% caps.
