Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This corner property in downtown Hollister presents an investment opportunity. The ground floor is currently leased as a tavern, generating approximately $4,500 per month; however, the building is currently posted as unsafe and not approved for occupancy. The second floor is a work in progress and also posted as unsafe, requiring repairs, inspections, and major renovations. This presents a potential value-add opportunity, subject to buyer verification and satisfaction. The property offers flexibility for commercial use or potential mixed-use redevelopment. Real estate only; the business, liquor license, FF&E, and goodwill are not included. The bike score is 36, indicating it is somewhat bikeable, the walk score is 14, indicating it is car-dependent, and the transit score is 11, indicating minimal transit options. Buyers should use caution during showings, as upper-level access is restricted. All zoning, permits, condition, income, and development potential should be verified by the buyer. The seller and listing agent strongly encourage the buyer to conduct all inspections, investigations, and due diligence prior to closing.
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
$36,256
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
3.63%
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.
