Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 1,867-square-foot, one-story commercial building was constructed in 1980 on a 30' x 100' lot. Block construction, a metal roof, natural-gas heat, electric cooling, and public sewer serve the property. The building is occupied by Solomon's Porch, a cafe, restaurant, and catering business; the business itself is not part of the sale. The tenant operates under a month-to-month arrangement and has indicated interest in remaining.

The property is located in downtown Wilmore, near Asbury Theological Seminary and minutes from Asbury University. The surrounding district includes local retail, dining, and other daily-serving businesses in a walkable setting. Its existing restaurant occupancy, compact site, and downtown placement provide a clearly defined commercial footprint for an owner-user or investor evaluating continued restaurant use or another future direction.

Key Highlights

• 1,867 SF one‑story commercial building on a 30' x 100' lot
• Existing Solomon's Porch restaurant tenant; business is not included in the sale
• Month‑to‑month tenancy with the occupant expressing a desire to remain

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

$17,765

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

7.73%

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.
