Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This multifamily property is currently configured as a triplex with three distinct living areas: a main house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, an upstairs unit with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, and a basement unit that includes (2) separate 1-bedroom and 1-bathroom arrangements. There is also a rear building with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The seller notes potential for up to five rental units depending on the buyer’s investment strategy and occupancy plan.

Recent improvements include three new HVAC systems, a new water heater, all-new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, and updated drywall replacing original wood paneling. Electrical upgrades have been started with a new service panel installation, but the work was not completed and will require permits and completion by the new owner.

Located in Fredericksburg, the property is described as being in close proximity to the University of Mary Washington and Mary Washington Hospital, along with nearby shopping and the Cowan Boulevard retail corridor. The property is offered strictly AS IS, and the buyer is responsible for due diligence regarding unit count, permits, zoning, and intended use.

Financial Insights

Estimated NOI and Cap Rate

NOI = area × lease_rate × (100 − vacancy) / 100 × (1 − expense_ratio). Net Operating Income — what the owner takes home each year before mortgage payments and income tax. Effective rent (asking rent minus vacancy losses) minus operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management).
NOI / Yr
$49,745
Cap rate = NOI / list price × 100. Capitalization rate — annual return on a fully cash purchase, before financing. NOI divided by price. Higher means more income per dollar invested, but usually also more risk or older condition. 5–8% is typical for stabilized commercial property; double digits often signal distressed deals.
Cap Rate
6.22%
Suggested Prices Based on Cap Rates Cap rates vary significantly by property type, market, and asset quality. Typical U.S. stable-market ranges: Multifamily — 4.5% to 6.5% (Class A in primary markets often sub-5%; Class C in secondary markets 6%+) Industrial / Logistics — 5.0% to 7.0% (compressed heavily in recent years due to e-commerce demand) Office — 6.5% to 9%+ (wide spread post-2020; CBD Class A vs. suburban Class B varies dramatically) Retail — 5.5% to 8.5% (grocery-anchored on the low end, unanchored strip centers higher) Hospitality / Hotels — 7.5% to 10%+ (higher due to operational risk) Self-Storage — 5.5% to 7.5% Medical Office — 6.0% to 7.5% Net Lease (single tenant, credit) — 5.0% to 7.0% depending on tenant credit and lease term Rules of thumb: Primary markets (NYC, SF, LA, Boston, DC) trade at lower cap rates than secondary/tertiary markets, often by 100–200 bps (bps, aka basis points; 1 bp = 0.01%). Class A assets trade ~50–150 bps tighter than Class B, and Class B tighter than Class C. Cap rates move inversely with price — a lower cap rate means a higher price for the same NOI. Spread to the 10-year Treasury is a common benchmark; historically 200–400 bps over the 10-year.
