Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This 40-acre property adjoins over 150,000 acres of state and federal land, offering numerous possibilities. The property formerly hosted a railroad exhibit, and while the tracks are gone, the paths remain as trails throughout the land. It includes five buildings in excellent condition, except for one garage that requires new shingles. A 750 sq ft house with a full walkout basement overlooks the Comins Creek Valley. Additionally, there is a 4486 sq ft warehouse featuring a kitchen, bath, insulation, heating, and partial air conditioning, along with a four-car garage. A 576 sq ft bunkhouse is also present, along with a 24x40 garage needing shingles, and an 18x72 building suitable for a shooting range, horse barn, or other envisioned uses. Currently used as a mail-order distribution center, the business, inventory, and personal property will be removed, but all shelving and furniture can remain. The property is located off M-18 North, east of M-72 to McKinley, right on McKinley, and left on Abbe.

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
$36,199
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
6.59%
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.
