Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This duplex-style property includes a Cape Cod main residence and a legally recognized efficiency apartment above the detached garage. The primary home was built in 2003 and features 4+ bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a loft with pool table, finished basement, birch cabinetry, Corian countertops, radiant floor heat, wood and tile flooring, and both porch and deck space. The apartment has 1 bedroom, 1 bath, a compact kitchen, laundry appliances, and its own entrance. The 24'x32' garage is heated and provides room for two vehicles plus additional storage.
Set on 4.26 acres of manicured grounds in Windham, the property includes a private well and private sewer. A 26KW automatic generator installed in 2022 serves the house, garage, and apartment. Heat pumps were added in 2020, the exterior was re-stained in 2022, and the primary roof was replaced in 2023. A preliminary inspection indicates the lot may be subdividable, subject to applicable approvals.

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
$48,526
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
5.78%
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.
