Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Single-story office/medical building with a permitted building area of 3,824 SF. The property is currently set up as a multi-room interior with a 2013 and 2023 permitted floor plan for an academy business. The main entrance opens to a large reception and lobby, three rooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and an additional conference area. A second, left-side entrance provides three rooms and two bathrooms, giving the building a practical separation of space.

Access is supported from multiple points, including handicap access at both entrances. There are two entrances to the parking lot, one from a back alley and one from Commonwealth Ave. The lot size is listed as over 20,000 SF, with room that could be reconfigured for additional parking. The property also notes convenient access to the 91 and 5 freeways.

With two entrances and multiple room groupings, the building can work for a doctor’s office, general office, academy use, or other business types that benefit from flexible space. The layout supports the possibility of operating two separate spaces, depending on tenant needs and interior configuration.

Key Highlights

  • Prime location with General Commercial zoning in Fullerton.
  • Permitted building space of 3,824 SF with a flexible floor plan.
  • Two separate entrances allowing for potential dual rental income.

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
$63,404
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
2.82%
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.
