Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This well-maintained triplex offers a classic shared-entry setup, a grand front porch, and an inviting common yard. The roof has been updated, and each unit has separate electrical meters. While electrical is individually metered, the units share water, sewer, and garbage services. An attached garage is currently rented with Unit C, adding a practical companion to the unit layout. The property was owner-occupied until 2021 and has been carefully maintained, with ownership documented as changing hands only a few times since 1980.

Located at 3123 SE 31st Ave in Portland, the property is described as being in the Richmond area. Comprehensive financial records are available to support due diligence.

For buyers or operators seeking a residential income property with a straightforward utility arrangement, the separate electrical meters can simplify billing and reduce administrative complexity. At the same time, shared water, sewer, and garbage should be factored into budgeting, along with the provided annual expense figures for insurance, water, garbage, and lawn care. With the attached garage already leased with Unit C, the configuration supports an income approach that combines unit living space with an additional rented component.

Key Highlights

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
$44,258
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
5.57%
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.
