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.
The most-rejected permit applications fail on documentation completeness, not project merit. A reliable pre-submission check covers four things: (1) parcel zoning matches intended use, (2) setback dimensions match the survey, (3) any required HOA or design-review sign-off is attached, (4) contractor license number is valid and unrestricted in the issuing jurisdiction.
Permit re-submission resets the queue clock in most NH jurisdictions, adding 2-6 weeks to a project. Catching documentation gaps before submission is the cheapest schedule recovery tool an owner has.
In tight markets, sellers compress diligence windows from 30 days to 7-10. The items that survive a compressed window are the ones with hard external dependencies — title work, survey, environmental Phase I — because they cannot be parallelized further. Inspections and financing contingencies tend to get squeezed first.
Buyers who try to do the same diligence in 1/3 the time produce lower-quality findings and end up with surprises at closing. Knowing what cannot be compressed is the difference between a clean close and a re-trade.
