Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This is a 20-foot wide, two-unit, three-story corner mixed-use building. The property features two stores on the first floor and two four-bedroom apartments above. A four-car garage is located at the back of the property. The apartments feature wood floors, good-sized closets, and ample sunlight. The units have 10-foot ceilings, and the electric and plumbing systems have been updated. The kitchens are equipped with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The full bathrooms feature modern tubs and toilets and are nicely tiled. Each unit also includes a washer and dryer. The property offers a prime investment opportunity. An investor can add value by renting out the garages or converting them into stores. The second-floor unit has access to the roof of the garages, which can be used as outdoor space. The property also presents a great user opportunity, where the corner stores can be used for business purposes, and the second-floor unit can be occupied. The third-floor apartment can be rented for income, along with the garages. The property benefits from residential exposure on Decatur Street and commercial exposure on Howard Avenue. The J train is located four blocks away on Chauncey Street and Broadway. The property size is 3,600 square feet.

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
$172,637
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
6.91%
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.
