Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This automotive service station is offered as a turn-key operation with the tools and equipment needed for ongoing service work. The facility includes a newer roof, radiant heating for year-round comfort, and two overhead doors that support efficient vehicle handling. Interior equipment is included, such as hoists and welders, along with other essential shop tools to help the next owner begin operations without waiting for major setup.
The property is located at 101 Seventh Avenue in Norway, Michigan, in Dickinson County. The business is positioned on a highway for visibility to passing motorists, with the seller describing an established customer base built over years of operation. The sale is structured to support continuity of operations, with the seller willing to remain temporarily to train the new owner and share day-to-day insights.
This offering is well suited for an automotive operator seeking a ready-to-run shop with core functional improvements already in place, including overhead access, shop heating, and in-shop equipment. For buyers who want to step into an existing service station business and maintain a consistent workflow, the combination of included equipment and the planned transition support can help shorten the time between closing and active operation.

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
$13,153
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
6.12%
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.
