Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This turn-key two-unit commercial storefront has been recently renovated and is ready for immediate occupancy. The property includes two separate commercial units, with one established tenant generating $21,000 in annual rent and the second unit delivered vacant. Interior improvements include fresh paint, updated lighting, floor leveling, restroom updates, and a common sink area. Mechanical and related updates cited include an oil tank, a furnace expansion tank, and water shut-off valves. Tenant buildout features include new interior rooms, laundry hookups, lighting, exit signs, and a 240V outlet.

Located in the heart of Bliss Corner on a highly visible corner lot, the building is positioned in a thriving commercial district with strong exposure and accessibility. The two independent units offer flexibility for retail, professional services, or other business uses.

For tenants, the vacant unit can support an owner-occupant or an operator looking to move in with modernized finishes and storefront-ready buildout items. For investors or buyers, the existing in-place tenant provides current income while the second unit remains available to lease. Recent exterior updates include siding, downspouts, and gutters, helping round out the turn-key presentation and reduce near-term maintenance concerns.

Key Highlights

  • Renovated 2‑unit commercial storefront property with 1 in‑place tenant and the 2nd unit delivered vacant
  • Established tenant generates $21,000 annual rent
  • Corner lot in a thriving commercial district with high visibility and accessibility

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
$33,189
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
6.04%
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.
