    Why you should NEVER buy based off Cap Rate and which metric you should be using

    Buying based on cap rate? That’s a no-go, folks! In today’s chat, we’re diving into why you should steer clear of cap rates when considering your next commercial property purchase. First off, let’s break it down: a cap rate is essentially the return you’d expect on an all-cash investment. But let’s be real—most of us aren’t shelling out cash for these properties like we’re at a garage sale. I’ll share some juicy tidbits about how sellers and brokers can twist the numbers to make a cap rate look more enticing than it really is. Instead of getting caught in that trap, we’ll discuss the metrics that actually matter when buying, like cash-on-cash return, which can lead to a much more profitable investment down the line. So grab your favorite beverage, and let’s get into the nitty-gritty of making smarter investment choices!

I’ve got a bit of a rant brewing about how that mindset can be not just misguided, but downright selfish. So whether you’re a hustler or just someone enjoying the fruits of their labor, let’s chat about why it’s crucial to keep pushing the envelope and contribute value to others.
