Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 2,354-square-foot duplex contains two residential units with separate layouts. The first floor includes four rooms, one bedroom, a den, a bathroom with a newer walk-in shower, and basement laundry. The upper unit provides six rooms, three bedrooms, one bath, an office or nursery, kitchen and dining areas, a living room, and a walk-in closet. Features include central air, newer vinyl windows, a wood-paneled country kitchen with recessed lighting and a movable island, plus attic storage and furnace space.

The property sits on a spacious level lot with a paved parking area and shed. A newer roof was completed in 2016, followed by installation of 37 solar panels serving the first floor. Zoned R3, the property also has potential for an ADU, subject to confirmation with the town’s Inspectional Services. Exterior work is needed, and the first-floor interior requires substantial updating, providing a clear renovation scope for an owner-occupant or investor.

Key Highlights

  • 2,354‑square‑foot duplex with two residential units
  • First floor includes 1 bedroom plus den; upper unit has 3 bedrooms and an office or nursery
  • 37 solar panels installed after the newer roof completed in 2016

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
$42,168
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
8.43%
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.
