Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This turnkey, fully renovated legal duplex is configured as two separate units with private entrances. Each unit offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, along with in-unit washer and dryer, central air, and forced heat. The first-floor unit includes access to a rear patio and is currently empty, making it well suited for owner-occupancy or flexible use. The second-floor unit is leased through PHA and has a long-term term scheduled through May 31, 2027.

The property includes a welcoming front porch and separate rear basement access, providing a practical way to store items without interrupting either household. A rear patio is accessible from the first-floor unit, adding outdoor space tied directly to the living area.

For buyers seeking an income-producing setup with established tenancy, the second-floor unit’s existing lease and in-place status may simplify near-term operations. For owner-occupants, the vacant first-floor unit can support a live-in arrangement while maintaining the duplex structure. Either way, the property’s renovated condition, private entrances, and in-unit laundry support tenant comfort and straightforward day-to-day management.

Key Highlights

  • Fully renovated legal duplex built in 1925 with separate private entrances for each unit
  • Each unit has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths with in‑unit washer and dryer and central air
  • 1st‑floor unit has 2BD/2BA and separate entrance with access to a rear patio; currently empty

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
$28,157
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
7.82%
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.
