Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This two-family residential income property offers a versatile live-and-rent configuration, with a spacious 2-bedroom apartment over a 1-bedroom unit. In addition, there is a separate owner’s studio apartment that can serve as extended-family space, a guest area, or a home office. The property sits on a generous street-to-street lot and includes two detached garages, supporting practical storage needs and off-street parking along with outdoor space.

Conveniently positioned for day-to-day errands and commuting, the home is within walking distance to shopping and schools, and it is served by local and express buses. Access to the train and the Staten Island Ferry is also within walking distance. For faster regional travel, the Staten Island Expressway is just minutes away.

For tenants, buyers, or owner-occupants, the layout provides multiple ways to use the space while maintaining independent rental potential across the 2-bedroom, 1-bedroom, and studio components. The detached garages and larger lot area can be a meaningful advantage for day-to-day convenience, storage, and parking. Please note the sale is subject to E&O, and offers are governed by the stated “highest & best” process and submission requirements, including proof of funds and attorney materials, with no contingencies per the remarks.

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
$43,321
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
4.38%
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.
