Hello, this is Shuo.
Let’s continue talking Cap Rate: class and condition of apartments also affects its Trading Cap Rate. Apartment buildings are generally classified in A, B, C, D – four classes.
Class A luxury apartments built in recent years have lower cap rates due to stability, while class D, or distressed assets are trading at higher cap rate, but at greater risk. We like B- and C- Class properties in A and B neighborhoods for contained risk and greater upside.
