Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Built in 1984, this two-family duplex is arranged side by side, with each residence offering three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and multiple levels of living space. Finished basements expand the usable area for recreation, work, exercise, storage, or other household needs. Interior features include hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, natural light, separate living and dining areas, and individual kitchens. Each unit also has its own entrance, supporting a clear separation between the residences.

The property includes off-street parking, a yard, patio space, a storage shed, and landscaped outdoor areas. Its residential setting and two-unit configuration support several occupancy arrangements, including living in one residence while renting the other, housing extended family, or operating both units as a rental property.

Key Highlights

  • Side‑by‑side two‑family layout with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms per unit
  • Finished basement in each unit adds flexible lower‑level space
  • Separate entrances provide independent access for both residences

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
$68,898
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
7.66%
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.
