Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This well-maintained garage condo is offered as a highly functional 1,500 SF (25x60) unit in a secure, gated industrial/business park in Big Lake. The space includes in-floor heat with floor drains, water hookup, and plumbing in place for an in-unit bathroom, supporting light work and practical daily use. A 12’ x 16’ drive-in overhead door provides convenient access for vehicles or equipment, and the unit is equipped with 3-phase power. Recently upgraded with professionally painted floors, the interior is positioned for immediate occupancy.
The property is located within a community setting with gated entry and remote access. Highway 10 and Highway 25 provide convenient routes to the area. HOA dues are listed at $185/month and cover common area maintenance, including grass, snow, garbage, insurance, security cameras, and common areas. The community also has a clubhouse available for reservation, featuring a bar and lounge area for meetings, events, or gatherings.
This unit is a strong fit for contractors, small businesses, storage users, or hobbyists seeking a clean, controlled-access space with essential utilities already in place. The combination of drive-up convenience, in-floor heat, and plumbing readiness can help streamline operations for users who need more than standard dry storage.

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
$20,340
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
7.27%
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.
