Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This large duplex features two separate residences, with each side offering three bedrooms. The enclosed porches have been incorporated into the living area, increasing usable indoor space. Updates include new water heaters and freshly painted interiors. The property also includes a newly paved driveway and a large backyard suitable for everyday outdoor use.

The duplex is located at 439-441 NW 18th Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The home is configured with separate electric and water meters for each unit, supporting independent tenant occupancy and straightforward utility allocation.

From an owner-occupant or investor standpoint, the layout provides flexibility. One unit is occupied by a guaranteed-income tenant, while the other unit is vacant and available for touring, giving prospective buyers the ability to evaluate finishes and condition firsthand. With three-bedroom layouts on both sides, the property may be well-suited to tenants seeking additional room, while also allowing buyers to live in one unit and rent the other.

Key Highlights

  • Large duplex with 3 bedrooms on each side and 1,824 SF total enclosed living space from enclosed porches
  • Separate electric and water meters for each unit
  • New water heaters

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
$30,406
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
5.91%
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.
