Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This four-unit residence includes a three-bedroom primary home on the first floor, a one-bedroom apartment and a two-bedroom apartment above, plus a fourth residence on the lower level. The main home connects to a brick sunroom, stone patio, and backyard, while the upper two-bedroom residence includes a private balcony. Laundry and utility areas are also located below grade.

Built as part of Roosevelt Court, the property sits within the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District and has three open exposures with views toward surrounding greenery. The residence offers approximately 2,100 square feet above grade and an approximately 1,044-square-foot lower level, with more than 600 square feet of private outdoor space across two levels. All four residences are to be delivered vacant, allowing an owner to occupy one unit while leasing the others, use the property for multigenerational living, or retain the full configuration as an income property.

  • Four residences delivered vacant
  • Unit mix includes three‑bedroom, one‑bedroom, two‑bedroom, and lower‑level residences
  • Approximately 2,100 square feet above grade plus an approximately 1,044‑square‑foot lower level

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
$77,587
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
3.11%
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.
