What's a realistic Concord cap rate?
B-class SFR: 3.5-4.5%. Small-multifamily: 4.0-5.5%. Anything claiming 7%+ in Concord is either C-class neighborhood or pro-forma fiction.

Why Concord for investors
Diverse, family-anchored, transit-rich. Todos Santos Plaza downtown, two BART stations, broad mix of mid-century ranch homes and newer construction.
Roger\'s read: Clayton Valley HS catchment streets trade at a 5-10% premium. East Concord (Crystyl Ranch, Clayton Valley) is where the appreciation has been.
