Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Located at the corner of 8th and Railroad Avenue, this property offers significant potential. Situated across from the middle school and close to the Rifle Fairgrounds, the location is ideal for various uses. The property, previously used as a real estate office, could function well as a home-based business. With remodeling, it can be converted into a 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence with a living area, kitchen, and a large bonus room suitable for a home/office combination. The property includes a fenced backyard with two storage sheds and mature landscaping. The bonus room is equipped with window shades and a mini-split system for heating and cooling. Recent improvements include exterior paint, upgraded light fixtures throughout, an upgraded electrical circuit in the kitchen area, an upgraded Rennar on-demand water heater, Dura Rock installed in the basement, and a replaced sewer line from the building to the cleanout. The lot size is 0.16 acres. The property size is 1468 square feet. The zoning is MDR.

- Potential for home‑based business.
- Remodel potential to 3‑bedroom layout with bonus room.
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
$17,950
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
4.66%
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.
