Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Built in 1924, this 3,050-square-foot brick duplex pairs a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath first-floor unit with a three-bedroom, one-bath second-floor unit. The lower residence is vacant, while the upper unit has a long-term year-to-year tenant. Each apartment has independent gas and electric service, its own boiler and hot water tank, and separate basement areas with laundry, storage, and mechanical space.
Interior details include partial hardwood flooring, original kitchen built-ins, hallway storage, spacious living rooms, and decorative brick fireplaces with mantels. The first floor uses mini-split HVAC systems alongside boiler heat; the upper unit has window AC units and boiler heat. A two-car garage provides separate stalls, automatic openers, and keypads, and sits beside a small courtyard, patio, and garden. The roof on both the residence and garage was replaced in 2022.
The property is located at 563 S Braddock Ave in Point Breeze, near Regent Square, one block from Frick Park and 1.8 miles from Bakery Square.

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
$34,857
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
7.19%
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.
