Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This three-unit triplex provides a flexible mix of spacious layouts, including combinations of two- to three-bedroom units. Two-bedroom configurations feature two bathrooms, while the three-bedroom unit includes an ensuite. The building also offers separate utilities, supporting convenient management and potential cost control for an owner. A full walk-out basement adds additional living or storage space and opens directly to a large private backyard.

The property is positioned for easy city access in Mott Haven, with walkability and transit convenience noted by Walk Score 97 and Transit Score 100. It is described as being near the 2, 5, and 6 subway lines, along with the Bx17 bus, supporting straightforward commuting throughout the Bronx and beyond.

For investors or owner-occupants, the unit mix and separate utilities can support a practical approach to leasing and day-to-day operations. The first and third floor units are currently occupied, with no leases in place as per seller request, and the property can be delivered vacant for an incoming buyer who wants to customize use. With the combination of interior flexibility and outdoor space, this triplex may fit buyers looking for a multi-unit property in a connected, developing area of the neighborhood.

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
$91,598
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
6.70%
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.
