        "text": "Before investing, consider key financial metrics such as capitalization rate (cap rate), cash-on-cash return, and projected occupancy rates. The cap rate helps assess the property's potential return relative to its purchase price, while cash-on-cash return measures the annual return on the actual cash invested. Evaluating these metrics alongside expected operating expenses is crucial for a comprehensive financial assessment of your investment.",
