Tommy Dobczyk breaks down unit pricing in a deal scenario, proposing targets of $250 to $295 per unit. At 90% occupancy and $350 average rent, the deal hits 8% yield on cost and 7.2% cash-on-cash return, but cutting the price further risks killing the returns.

Is acceptable but not sexy. So very true, when we lower the price, it can drop that.
