Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Built in 1931, this 3,034-square-foot Tudor duplex contains two residences, each with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Both units feature formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchen areas, substantial pantry storage, living room fireplaces, and a full bath with built-in vanity. A 3/4 Jack-and-Jill bath serves the secondary bedrooms in each residence. The property also includes a shared cobblestone patio and four total garage stalls, with a 2-car garage assigned to each unit.
The duplex is located at 4145 Colfax Ave S in Minneapolis, less than two blocks from Lake Harriet and 1.5 blocks from the Rose Garden. Property updates include a 2017 roof, one newer boiler, newer garages, and reconstruction of the top 17 feet of the chimney exterior with new brick, a limestone overhang, and a reinforced concrete cap.
The two-unit layout, substantial living areas, and separate garage capacity support both owner-occupant and investor ownership strategies.

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
$44,329
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
5.72%
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.
