Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This very well maintained, upgraded quadplex features four spacious one-bedroom units totaling approximately 3,816 square feet, with each apartment estimated around 950 square feet. The property is positioned as an income-focused residential building with multiple independently usable homes under one ownership structure.

Located in the heart of Alamitos Beach, the building is about two blocks from the beach and adjacent to Bluff Park, supported by a very high walk score. Daily conveniences and entertainment are within an easy 5 to 15 minute walk, including shopping, restaurants, and bars. Public transportation is described as available on the corner of E. Broadway, and additional nearby retail and dining areas include the East Village Arts District and Retro Row along East 4th St.

For tenants, the layout supports privacy and straightforward living with one-bedroom floorplans in a neighborhood setting near the water and parks, along with frequent walkable access to everyday amenities. For buyers, the asset provides a compact four-unit residential structure with four long-term residents reflected in actual rents, offering a practical approach for an owner seeking manageable multi-family ownership in a desirable coastal area.

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
$82,046
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
5.66%
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.
