A cap rate is just NOI divided by price; it bakes in zero assumptions about the market, asset class, or capital structure. Two properties with identical 6% cap rates can have wildly different risk profiles depending on lease maturity, tenant credit, and capital reserve needs. Cap rate is a quick screening tool, not a buy signal.
Underwriting purely on cap rate is the most common reason new investors pay above-market prices. The same investors then blame "the market" when their projected returns do not materialize three years in.
A 1031 like-kind exchange has three hard clocks: the 45-day identification window, the 180-day close window, and the same-taxpayer rule (the entity selling and buying must match). Missing any one of these collapses the deferral, exposing the full gain to tax. The most-missed is the same-taxpayer rule when LLCs change membership mid-exchange.
The tax exposure on a busted exchange is the full long-term capital gain plus depreciation recapture — often 25-30% of the basis difference. Process discipline is the only protection.
Beyond the standard CC&Rs, four documents predict future assessment risk: the reserve study (is the association underfunded?), the most recent two annual budgets, the delinquency report (what % of owners are behind?), and any pending litigation. A reserve-study funding ratio below 30% is a yellow flag; below 10% is red.
Special assessments in underfunded associations routinely run $10K-$50K per unit and arrive with little notice. The reserve study is a legally required disclosure in most states — but most buyers never ask for it.
