low cap rate projected returns?

beginner Question, I was underwriting small MF deals in New York, good deals are barely 3-3.5 cap, mostly you will be in a negative leverage scenario unless Interest rates are lower than cap rates. and the majority of the buildings have some kind of rent control attached to them so projected growth is also limited. are these buyers buying with a targeted 4-8% IRR? what have you seen?

Yes, firms buying stabilized assets at a 3-3.5% cap rate are Core buyers and are targeting very low IRRs/cash-on-cash. They just want to beat t-bills (or even match in some cases). These are primarily institutional buyers who have a specific allocation and are investing for relative returns rather than absolute returns.

Now there are plenty of firms buying value-add multifamily at 3-3.5% cap rates that are targeting 10-15% IRRs because their strategy is value/capital creation rather than cash flow.
