Some NH jurisdictions give the foreclosed owner a statutory right to redeem the property within a window after the sale (often 6-12 months). Buyers at foreclosure auctions in those jurisdictions take title subject to redemption — meaning the prior owner can reclaim the property by paying the auction price plus interest. Title insurance does not cover this exposure.
A redeemed property is returned to the prior owner, not refunded with the original purchase price plus appreciation. Auction buyers in redemption-rights states need to hold capital reserves for the entire window.
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.
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.
