Woof I think the commercial multi-family RE just got hot!

These apts have been on the market for a couple of months; 1980's construction, some updating already, great southern exposure for Winter sun. Backs up to a major hwy but the front looks over a large park. Underground heated parking, elevators, W/D's and HVAC in each unit. makes for some maintenance.

I thought they would go for $80K/unit great price, $110K/unit at the top because additional capital is necessary. $136K/unit woof!!

New home builders are starting to build on 60 ft wide lots again to attract owner single family same as rent - not a townhouse.

Greystar do not seem to be dummies but much over about a buck/foot/mo. the newer competition will empty him out...

I was looking at a 1930 construction 14 unit near Mpls Institute of Art. Property sold for 15% discount to asking. $45K/unit. Student housing has turnover & no off street parking so I passed. But d*mn the CAP rate would pop above 10%.
