Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This fully renovated duplex offers two spacious units laid out identically, each providing 3 bedrooms. The property is described as well maintained and has undergone extensive updates, including flooring, walls, windows, siding, plumbing, electrical systems, furnaces, and hot water tanks, among other improvements. Each unit is currently rented, supporting an income-focused profile for an owner-operator or investor.

The asset is located at 8 Colwell St in Portville, New York. The public remarks indicate tenants pay their own separate utilities, which can help reduce landlord utility management needs. The duplex configuration and separate utility setup are key operational considerations for buyers evaluating rental property cash-flow structure.

For investors seeking a turn-key residential income property, this duplex is positioned around two already-rented units with comparable layouts. The major capital items named in the remarks have been addressed through renovations, and the ownership opportunity is framed as ready to generate income from day one. This property may be well suited for a buyer looking for a straightforward two-unit structure with separate utility responsibility in place.

Key Highlights

  • Fully renovated duplex built in 1900 with two identical 3‑bedroom units
  • Currently rented for $900 per month (per unit), generating income immediately
  • Units are laid out identically and both have 3 bedrooms

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
$8,020
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
5.77%
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.
