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 Phase I ESA is required for most commercial loans and is strongly recommended whenever a site has had industrial, gas-station, dry-cleaner, or auto-repair use in its history. The ESA itself does not test soil — it researches historical use and identifies Recognized Environmental Conditions that may justify a Phase II (which does test).
CERCLA liability for contamination attaches to current owners regardless of who caused the contamination. A Phase I performed before purchase establishes the "innocent landowner" defense, which is otherwise nearly impossible to claim.
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.
