Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Timberwood is a 42-unit apartment community offering spacious 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom floor plans. The property includes recent capital improvements focused on both common areas and units, including landscaping and tree removal, upgraded lighting, plumbing and electrical work, new aluminum carports, parking lot resurfacing and striping, and roof repairs and replacement. On the interior, nine units have been renovated with features such as vinyl plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, updated lighting fixtures, shower surround updates, hard-surface countertops, undermount sinks, and shaker-style cabinetry. An additional eight units were mostly upgraded within the last year with LVP flooring, new appliances, and modern lighting.
Located in the Lakewood submarket of Tacoma, residents are described as having direct access to more than two million square feet of retail at Tacoma Mall and Lakewood Towne Center. Nearby Fort Steilacoom Park and American Lake are also noted, supporting long-term demand for investors in a submarket with historically stable occupancy.
The current ownership has invested approximately $700,000 in capital improvements, with new ownership able to build on the completed work through continued upgrades across remaining units and operational improvements.

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
$476,052
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
5.84%
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.
