Wholesaling a turnkey 9-unit building

I have a situation in which I may be able to get a nine unit building under contract for a price that would equate to an 8% capitalization rate. The capitalization rate for the neighborhood, and in fact the city and county, is at highest 5%.

Translated into dollar figures, I may be able to get a property under contract for $725,000 when in fact, assuming a 5% capitalization rate, it's worth well over $1.1 million.

The property needs no repairs and is fully rented with long-term leases. And when I mean long-term, I mean at least a year.

Given this, there is no "after repair value," so to speak. There is only the discount to fair market value.

In short, is this something worth my pursuit? I would have to assume that if I can get it for $725,000 and it's actually worth over $1.1 million, there must be someone out there willing to buy, right?

It's like buying a brand-new $75,000 Corvette for $50,000...I'm sure someone would want that...

Or am I totally off base here??
