Direct answer

Caution — verify unit-level exemptions and underwrite to capped growth.

Expanded explanation

Some units exempt (new construction, SFR in some states). Cap rate compresses for non-exempt; underwrite to 3%/yr max rent growth regardless of market.

Examples

  • NJ post-2024 rent caps reducing achievable NOI growth.
