Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate)

QUESTION: 

Does HousingAlerts tell or show the Cap Rate / Market Cap Rate for Apartment buildings?

ANSWER:

HousingAlerts can and should be used to SET the risk adjusted Cap Rate so you can compare deals/properties in different markets on an apples-to-apples (risk adjusted) basis.
