GRM is gross rent multiplier. That means annual rent as a ratio to purchase price.
$2,200,000. That's $220,000 per apartment. Now, I prefer the other GRM, monthly, not annually. Multiply by 12 is all. That's 165. In other words in this market 40% overpriced for a recovery. 60% overpriced for rent deflation expectations. They claim $ $13,000/mo in rent receipts. Taxes would eat the first $2000 every month. Ouch. Debt service also says 40% overpriced on a cash flow basis.
Hope springs eternal.

My FIRST thought is, that's an ugly appartment building.
Who cares if it's ugly, as long as it pays. But this one, like so many others, does not pay.
I've been trying to convince my in-laws for some years to sell their rental properties while property prices are still (yes still!) too high. But they want to keep them "for the income". Oh my, what income?
The properties are competely tax-depreciated now, and after paying property taxes, insurance, and then accounting for deadbeats not paying the rent, they are currently earning no more than a typical online savings account or CD, even at today's crap CD rates.
And they endure a lot more aggro dealing with houses. The bank, for example, doesn't call in the middle of the night to say someone with no insurance ran their car into your CD and smashed it all up.
CobraDriver,
You still hanging around out there?
Howz thingz your way?
By Tishman Speyer standards, this place is a bargain.
Can I have some of they're smoking?
That building is priced as though the condo conversion was already complete.
Real property at least is... real. If worse comes to worse, the owner will at least have a place to live without paying rent or make some money but not too much. That is, provided that he breaks even. On the other hand, there is no guarantee that banks won't offer even lower rates for investment products or somehow make them unavailable or not worth having. After all, there were times when rates were better and this is just no longer the case. Maybe they won't even offer CDs in the future, but they won't come and take away a building from the owner unless there is an unpaid mortgage or something.
"Can I have some of they're smoking?"
Check with Monica.
I don't smoke anything.

Yeah, right. Anyone THAT concerned with all things Casey must be lighting up early and often.

I'm still hanging out. The parents have all their units in Cape Coral rented. As an FYI...the rents are the same as 1995/1996 if you add in the property tax increases. 435/mo in 1995. Taxes increased about 60/unit/mo and rents are right at 500/mo.
You better not run a credit check.
If they hadn't sold a couple of properties at the peak and paid everything off...
Changing speeds,I have a relative deeply inside the place Rob loves to bash. Our emails over the last year have been interesting,to say the least. Depending on what shakes out over the next couple of weeks I might post up some stuff.
I would post something now but I swore secrecy. Not to mention he has enough stress wothout the added publicity.
Lots of interesting stuff hanging right now.
I'm tracking a half dozen "flips" in my zip. 2 are possible money makers,2 are small losses,3 are NFW. I stumbled across a broker who works with 4-5 banks exclusively. In December he was sitting on 2500-2700 foreclosures that hadn't been released to the MLS yet. Just for our county. He figured the dam would break May/June time frame. He actually told me to hang out until December 2010/January 2011 then get serious.
I have tried following CR's comments and it gives me a headache...

Dawg's out of touch right now, paddling out past the breakers...
CobraDriver, are you a relative of Casey?
Duh
Here's Casey's chance:
