Projected income is north of $130,000 annually, and the building has exceedingly low expenses. The commercial component pays 50% of the RE taxes, already uncommonly low at $3632 per year, as well as 70% of the water/sewer charges. The NOI should be $130,000 annually, rising at least 3% per year from the rent escalation of the commercial lease alone. The renovation of the second floor has been priced at $182,500 by professional contractors, so including that cost in addition to the purchase price should still equate to a 6% annual rate of return for a new owner. Finding a true cap rate over 5.5% in Brownstone Brooklyn is extremely rare. Offering memorandum available to all interested parties.
