Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This duplex includes two completely separate homes on one lot, each designed with its own private fenced yard to support privacy and day-to-day flexibility. The front home is accessed from SW 15th St, while the rear home uses convenient alley access. Outside space is set up to be low-maintenance, creating usable outdoor areas for each residence.

The property is located in Croissant Park and is positioned just minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale, I-95, I-595, and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. It is also described as close to boating marinas, Fort Lauderdale Beach, and Broward Health, placing it within reach of major employment, travel, and recreation options.

As a for-sale opportunity, the layout suits both investors and owner-occupants who want the option to live in one home while renting the other. The separate entrances and private fenced yards provide a practical framework for maintaining distinct household routines. The property is also reported not to have flooded in 2023 during a “generational flood.”

Key Highlights

  • Two separate homes on one lot, each with its own private fenced yard
  • Front home accessed from SW 15th St; rear home accessed via convenient alley access
  • Year built: 1952

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
$27,105
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
3.96%
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.
