Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This property is a fully functional auto repair shop built with 12,228 sq. ft. of usable working space. The shop includes seven bays and six car lifts, along with additional equipment such as a commercial-sized compressor (negotiable with the sale). The main shop is laid out with a waiting room, an office, two bathrooms, a parts room, upstairs apartment space, and multiple storage areas, plus large front bays tall enough to accommodate a semi truck.

The sale includes three parcels totaling 0.91 acres, including 309 S Florida Ave and two additional addresses: 136 W Voorhis Ave and 141 W New St, all in DeLand. There are three separate entry access areas, providing flexibility for operating or leasing different portions of the building. Access is available off Voorhis Ave, W New St, and the main entrance off S Florida Ave, with parking described at the front and along the Voorhis side. On the New St side, a vacant lot is included for additional parking.

While the property is set up for auto repair, the listing states the combined parcels include all types of zoning for multiple uses, including light manufacturing, warehouse, commercial, office space, and residential. That combination, along with separate entry points and established shop infrastructure, may fit owner-operators who want space to work, store, and potentially run office or other uses within the same asset.

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
$72,799
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
7.28%
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.
