Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This three-story historic red brick building was taken to the studs and rebuilt in 2012, with updates since. The ground floor is a commercial storefront featuring a recessed entry, display windows, soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and luxury vinyl plank flooring, along with a back office, private bath, and rear entry room with laundry hookups. Each floor is separately metered for utilities.
Upstairs, there are two residential lofts designed to operate separately or be opened into one larger home across both floors. Laundry is located on the landing between the lofts, and the stairs include new step lighting for nighttime access. Both lofts feature exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and updated finishes including custom gas fireplaces, granite counters, and bedrooms with private baths and custom tile showers, with additional premium details on the second and third floors such as a large walk-in closet and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The property is sold fully furnished and is already licensed for short-term rental with the City of Springfield, with the option to operate as a nightly rental or lease furnished long term. Reserved rear parking is available, along with street parking out front.

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
$48,690
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
4.99%
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.
