Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This mixed-use corner building was built in 1890 and thoughtfully updated, with commercial space on the ground floor and residential units above. The ground floor has operated as The Coffee Pot, a breakfast and lunch café, for over two decades and is described as fully equipped, operational, and positioned for food service and retail use. Upstairs, there are two residential apartments that provide rental income.

The property is located at a highly visible corner on Main Street in Hobart’s Book Village area, which the remarks describe as a growing destination for tourism, outdoor recreation, and second home buyers. The listing also notes that tourism creates consistent seasonal demand.

For a practical owner-operator setup, the building supports operating the café below while collecting income from the two apartments above.

Key Highlights

  • Built in 1890, mixed‑use property with a ground‑floor café and two residential apartments upstairs
  • Ground floor has operated as The Coffee Pot breakfast and lunch café for over two decades
  • Upstairs includes two income‑producing rental apartments

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
$20,858
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
6.98%
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.
