Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This three-story brick Victorian twin (circa 1895) blends historic character with modern mechanical improvements. The main level offers a combined living and dining space with hardwood flooring, wood window shutters, and designer lighting, leading to a European-style kitchen with radiant-heated Marmoleum flooring, Silestone quartz counters, skylight, double farm sink, and a gas cooking range. A rear vestibule includes a full bathroom with stall shower and access to a flagstone patio. The second floor features a spacious primary bedroom with hardwood floors and a double closet, plus an updated tiled bathroom with beadboard detailing and recessed lighting. The third floor provides two additional bedrooms with hardwood floors.
Systems include efficient five-zone mini-split heating and cooling, a high-efficiency gas-fired Buderus boiler, and 200-amp electric service. The property has recently installed new sanitary and storm lateral lines to the City main. A detached masonry two-car garage includes storage and a work area, supporting practical day-to-day use.
The home totals 2,340 square feet, with the floor plan noting a net area less than the City’s gross improved area.

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
$39,932
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
5.02%
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.
