Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This two-unit duplex is set up for either investor ownership or owner-occupancy. The first-floor apartment includes two large bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a full bathroom, and a laundry room/pantry with washer and dryer hookup. The second-floor apartment is accessed through the back and features one bedroom, a living room, a dining area, a full bathroom, and a laundry room/pantry with washer and dryer hookup. Updates noted include a recently replaced second-floor boiler and recently replaced hot water tanks, along with new flooring in both apartments. A nice-sized backyard adds outdoor space for occupants.
Located in Schenectady, the property is described as having convenient access to shopping and highways, supporting everyday commutes and errands.
For tenants or buyers, the unit mix provides a practical layout with separate living areas and dedicated laundry hookup spaces. The recent mechanical and interior updates may reduce near-term maintenance considerations, and the listing notes that current rent is below market. With the second unit’s back access, the building also supports straightforward separation between the two 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
$18,893
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
8.22%
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.
