Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This 10,093 square foot commercial real estate property in Bessemer, Alabama, presents a desirable investment opportunity. Situated on a 1.637-acre lot, the property features 49 parking spaces, plus 6 handicapped spaces. The property is currently occupied by tenants in the medical field, including internal medicine, nephrology, and a hearing aid clinic, all under NNN leases. One tenant, occupying 50% of the space, has a landlord option-to-cancel clause with 6-months' notice if the property is sold. Recent improvements include a roof replacement in 2024, several HVAC unit replacements since purchase, reception flooring replaced in 2025, and outdoor lighting bulb replacements in 2024. The parking lot was restriped and the building pressure washed in 2026. The fire suppression system is current on inspections and repairs and is monitored by Hiller Fire. The property's use allows for a higher percentage of bonus depreciation compared to other investment types.
Key Highlights
- NNN leases in place with medical tenants (internal medicine, nephrology, hearing aid clinic).
- Recent capital improvements: new roof (2024), new outdoor lighting (2024), parking lot restriped and building pressure washed (2026).
- Higher percentage of bonus depreciation due to property use.
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
$177,864
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
6.35%
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.
