Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
1536 S 19th Street is a legally zoned, fully occupied duplex offering two separate units with multiple attractive interior finishes. The first floor unit features a sunny living room, hardwood floors, and high ceilings, with large windows throughout. It includes an eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, and black appliances, plus two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a full tub and modern vanity. The rear bedroom is supported by private basement access for washer and dryer use, and the unit also has private access to a large rear patio.
Upstairs, unit 2 is accessed from the front door and offers a large living room, bedrooms on either side, and a kitchen with granite countertops and a mosaic tile backsplash. A window over the sink brings in additional natural light. The unit includes a full bathroom with a modern vanity and full tub with tile surround, along with a stacked washer/dryer located in the hall closet.
Located in Philadelphia’s Point Breeze neighborhood, this duplex is well suited for an investor seeking a ready-to-own rental property, or an owner-occupant looking to live in one unit while renting the other.

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
$25,768
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
6.44%
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.
