There are 3 broad categories of investment strategy :

Bargain purchase is the purchase of real estate for at least 20% below current market value.

In the increase-value strategy… buy a property at current market value… Then, immediately after purchase, you make whatever changes are necessary to increase the value of the property…. increase the value by at least 20% within six months….

Double-digit cap rate means that you buy the building on terms that it has a capitalization rate of 10% or more. it is the cash-on-cash rate of return you would get if you owned the property free and clear. In the absence of a bargain purchase, double-digit cap rates are very hard to find.
