Anyone buy a property outright in cash to rent out? If so, what is/was your cap rate? I have some cash (~$380k) and was thinking of using it to buy a rental property outright that has:

Monthly HOA: $202
Taxes: $4500 per year
Recent rental record: $2500 per month

Is this good or bad? Sorry just starting my real estate journey and just getting opinions. Thanks for all responses!

Using cash is capital inefficiency,. You can use it to out more down payment on more properties and generate more income

5.7% return per year on cash assuming no repairs. You are getting 70 basis points vs the risk free rate of 5% while the risk is more than 70 basis points, not a good deal

You could leverage that for a whole apartment building

Commercial building where? Lol

If you had to buy it on a regular 80/20 loan, and it wouldn’t cash flow at that, it’s probably not a great deal.
A deal like that relies on significant appreciation in rents & home price to be worth it so unless you’ve found a super niche location where that is reality, it’s not a good deal.
As the others have said 5% is the free rate of return right now, and your COC return would be lower than that after factoring in maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, trash, or whatever else you can think of.
Not a good deal if you ask me.

This. Right now it doesn’t make sense to invest in real estate. You can make the same amount of money without the extra cost of a rental (maintenance, vacancy, repairs, etc.)

5.15% in CDs and the like right now. So anything above that which would make the extra hassle worthwhile

However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?

With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then.
