2600-2604 N Booth St

6 units, 7,868 SF, bought Jan 26, 2026 at $850,000 (County deed #11572508). Where it stands in the 2026 market, by the numbers, every figure sourced.

Where you stand (short version)

The price is supported at market rents

You paid $850,000 on Jan 26, 2026 (County deed #11572508). Measured against rent, that is GRM 9.43 on today's rent and GRM 7.94 on market rent (the rent roll and the county deed record). Priced piece by piece at market rents, the building works out to $795,949 to $975,276, close to the middle of that range at your $850,000 (the component calculation). The units are in great shape and fully leased; the rents are simply below market, so the work that pays is the rent roll. The full picture is below.

Value, piece by piece

$795,949-$975,276

Apartments at 7.74 to 9.72 times rent plus shops at a 7.2% to 8.5% return (the component calculation).

Middle of that range

$885,446

Against the $850,000 you paid on Jan 26, 2026 (County deed #11572508).

Rent gap per year

$17,000

Worth about $139,000 of value at the same rates ($91,800 on the apartments, $47,160 on the shops) (the rent roll and the market-rent schedule).

Every row here cleared the eligibility rule before it earned a place: a signed 2024 or later lease, a 2024 or later rent roll, an active listing, or a lease term still running. The Eligibility column names which one - 8 rows rest on signed leases dated 2024 or later and 5 on listings that were active when checked. Rent basis under each row says whether the figure is MLS-reported or an asking rate. The smallest bay in the pool is 900 SF, so no true 500 SF bay exists as a comp: the salon read rests on 912 to 1,130 SF salon and health bays, the closest real evidence. Rent per month is the quoted monthly rent; $/SF/yr is the yearly rate per square foot, comparable across lease structures. Traffic is the WisDOT annual average traffic count at the nearest station. Out-of-market flags a row that sits outside Riverwest. These are small-bay retail leases: different asset type - not a true mixed-use comp.

GRM (annual) = sale price / gross annual scheduled rent (12 x monthly). Monthly GRM = price / monthly gross rent. Both labeled on every row. Basis under every row says whether the rent is documented, partly imputed, or an estimate. Small multifamily rows carry the asset-type label instead of any averaging rule: Jay and Mark decide how much each row counts, the site does not.

The two mixed-use trades with documented rents print 7.74 to 7.89 times annual rent. Your building bought at 9.43 on today's below-market rents and 7.94 at market rents. The small multifamily rows print 6.32 to 13.53 - a different asset type, not a true mixed-use comp, and never a blind comparable.

Every cap rate in this table is published by somebody else: a listing, a broker, or an appraisal, named in each row's Basis column. Nothing on this page is calculated from rent. Rows that are a small multifamily or small-bay retail property carry "different asset type - not a true mixed-use comp". the subject's own two cap rates are appraisal-published: 5.85% on the 2025 net income of $49,725 in the owner's operating statement (Appraisal, pp. 126+) and 7.20% at market rents on the appraisal's concluded overall rate (Appraisal for 2600-2604 N Booth St (Steven Lingeman, MAI), effective Jan 12, 2026, pp. 95, 98).

Published caps run 6.50% to 17.15% across these 12 properties. The 5 closed mixed-use trades within 0.84 mi of your building print 7.15%, 7.18%, 8.73%, 10.21%, 13.78%, median 8.73% - that is the market's own pricing for this asset class.

Valuation

What the building is worth, piece by piece

2600-2604 N Booth St is really two businesses under one roof: three apartments and three shops. Apartments and shops sell at different rates, so the fair way to price the building is to price each half with its own kind of trade, then add the two answers together.

What each half earns at market

Apartments: $61,140 a year (Appraisal (Lingeman, Jan 12, 2026), p. 69). Shops: $45,980 a year (Appraisal (Lingeman, Jan 12, 2026), p. 86). Together: $107,120 a year.

  1. The apartments: buyers pay 7.74 to 9.72 times rent for this kind of building.

    The four Milwaukee trades with documented rent rolls set the band at 7.74 to 9.72 times rent. The table at the end of this chapter lists all four with your own trade, each row carrying its sources.

    Applying that band to the apartments' $61,140 of market rent: low $473,224 at 7.74 times, middle $519,690 at 8.5 times, high $594,281 at 9.72 times (the component calculation). The upper two include those mixed buildings' storefront income inside the multiplier, so they lean generous for a pure apartment half. That is why the middle of the band is used.

  2. The shops: priced by return, not by a rent multiple.

    Small Milwaukee mixed-use and retail trades of 2025 and 2026 change hands at 6.6% to 8.5% returns on the income their listings state (the county deed records behind the four trades). After market operating costs for this kind of building (37.2% of rent, Appraisal (Lingeman, Jan 12, 2026), p. 95) and a 5% vacancy allowance, the shops' $45,980 of rent supports $27,432 of net income: at an 8.5% return $322,726, at 7.5% $365,756, and at the 7.2% return the appraisal concluded (Appraisal (Lingeman, Jan 12, 2026), pp. 84-87) that is $380,995.

    The purchase was $850,000 (County deed #11572508), which sits inside that range and just under the middle (the component calculation).

Two other ways to check the same answer

Whole-building multiples. Mixed buildings with a similar shop-to-apartment split changed hands at 7.74 to 9.72 times rent. On the building's $107,120 of market rent that is $829,109 to $1,041,206, middle $910,520 (the component calculation).

Straight return. Net income of $63,908 at the 7.2% to 8.5% return band is $751,856 to $887,608 (the component calculation).

All three routes land in the same neighborhood, roughly $751,856 to $1,041,206. Nothing in the range depends on a trade older than 2024.

The trades behind the bands

Your own trade and the four Milwaukee trades with documented rent rolls: every 2024 or later study-area trade that published a rent roll. The other 2024 or later trades published no rent roll, so they carry no GRM or cap rate. Sort any column; each row's story and sources open in its Details.

This table carries the four Milwaukee trades with documented rent rolls (every 2024 or later study-area trade that published one) plus your own trade measured twice. GRM is the sale price divided by one full year of rent at the basis shown, and every rent figure here is quoted from the source named in its Details. Cap rates are not shown in this table: they sit in the going-in cap rate chapter, each one published by a listing, a broker, or an appraisal. Your own trade is in the table twice: at today's rent and at market rent.

Where you stand

Where you stand at these numbers

You paid $850,000 on Jan 26, 2026 ($141,667 per unit, $108.03 per SF) (County deed #11572508). Priced piece by piece at market rents, the building works out to $795,949 to $975,276 with a middle of $885,446, and the two cross-checks agree ($751,856 to $1,041,206) (the component calculation). On today's rent you bought at GRM 9.43; on market rent, GRM 7.94 (the rent roll and the county deed record). Recent mixed-use trades ran 7.74 to 9.72 times rent, so both of your numbers sit inside the market (the county deed records behind the four trades).

Value, piece by piece

$795,949-$975,276

Apartments at 7.74 to 9.72 times rent plus shops at a 7.2% to 8.5% return (the component calculation).

Middle of that range

$885,446

Against the $850,000 you paid (County deed #11572508).

Rent gap per year

$17,000

Worth about $139,000 of value at the same rates (the rent roll and the market-rent schedule).

The upside is the rent roll

At market rents the building grosses $107,120 a year (Appraisal (Lingeman, Jan 12, 2026), pp. 69, 86). In place it grosses $90,120 (apartments $50,340, shops $39,780) (Appraisal (Lingeman, Jan 12, 2026), p. 68). The gap is $17,000 a year: $10,800 on the apartments (Apt 1 and Apt 3 sit below market) and $6,200 on the shops (the acupuncture lease never repriced after the tenant expanded into 808 E Clarke St; that bay's potential is $22,400 a year at $14.00 per SF) (the rent roll and the market-rent schedule). Closing the gap is worth about $139,000 of value ($91,800 on the apartments at 8.5 times rent, $47,160 on the shops at a 7.85% return) (the component calculation).

The timing is in the leases: the bakery lease runs to Nov 30, 2026, the acupuncture lease to Jul 31, 2026, and the salon to Sep 30, 2027. The first two re-leases are the chance to price to market without turning a tenant over.

The building's condition is settled and strong: tall ceilings, rooftop decks on the two upper apartments, in-unit washer and dryer plus dishwasher in every apartment, and parking for about four cars off the alley. The gap is between what the units earn and what the evidence says they can earn, so the work that pays is the rent roll, not the exit.

Appendix

Context kept out of the tables

Three groups of records informed the study but are not market comps for your building. They are kept here, labeled, so nothing is hidden and nothing distorts the tables above.

Transfers that were not market sales (6)

These changed hands on paper, not on the market. None is a priced trade:

  • 2556 N Booth St: The Dec 2024 transfer was a retitle to the owner's own company (county deed #11476285, quit claim, nothing recorded against the title). No market sale occurred; the $168,500 figure on the property record is an estimated value, not a price.
  • 2671-2679 N Holton St: The Apr 4, 2024 transfer was a gift (county deed #11410495, quit claim). The $162,500 figure on the property record is an estimated value, not a price.
  • 833 E Burleigh St: The Oct 23, 2024 transfer moved the building into the owner's own revocable trust (county deed #11459569). The $118,500 figure is an estimated value, not a price.
  • 831-833 W Burleigh St: The Jun 5, 2024 transfer was a family-gift land contract (county deed #11425227) with $0 recorded. The $70,400 figure exists only on the property record's sale line.
  • 400 E Burleigh St: Recorded Jan 14, 2025, but the deed conveys Mar 1, 2019 (county deed #11480607), before the 2024 window of this study.
  • 3271-3273 N Holton St: Recorded Jan 22, 2025, but the deed conveys Jul 1, 2019 (county deed #11480609), before the 2024 window of this study.
Residential alternates (5)

Just below the seven comps above; useful as brackets, not as anchors:

  • 2611 N Humboldt Blvd (3BR/1BA, 1,400 SF, $1,550/mo) (Trulia). Exact size match to your Apt 1/3 (1,400 SF) with a full 2026 lease cycle: listed May 2026 at $1,550 and removed Jun 10, 2026. Loses on the 3BR layout and the 1-bath cluster.
  • 2518 N Humboldt Blvd (2BR pair, 1,246 SF, $1,275/mo for the lower) (Zumper). Amenity floor bracket: on-site laundry only, no washer and dryer in the unit. The $1,275 lower is the only unit priced now (the $1,550 upper is no longer listed).
  • 2556 N Booth St upper duplex (2BR, 950 SF, $1,400/mo). Same street with porches, but marketed with deferred maintenance and no off-street parking: the quality-floor bracket. The $1,400 rent is the appraiser's Jan 2026 observation (Appraisal for 2600-2604 N Booth St (Steven Lingeman, MAI), effective Jan 12, 2026, pp. 60-61).
  • 3015-3015B N Pierce St (3BR pair, 888 and 1,650 SF, $1,395-$1,495/mo) (Zillow). Balcony and washer and dryer hookups (not in the unit); 3BR cross-type. Shows the size discount at 1,650 SF ($0.91/SF/mo).
  • 3314 N Buffum $845 / 3228 N Achilles $945 / 2846 N Holton $950 (2BR/1BA) (Zillow). A lower product tier that would drag the market read below your units' quality: the low anchor of the range.
Retail candidates that did not qualify (2)

Neighborhood retail records that did not clear the eligibility rule, each with its reason:

  • 512-514 E Center St. Out of the eligible set: the only listings for it are sale listings dated Jan 1, 2019 and Oct 28, 2018, both delisted, with no rent roll dated 2024 or later and no lease term published.
  • 3041 N Oakland Ave. Out of the eligible set: signed Jul 19, 2023, before the 2024 cutoff, MLS status sold, and its 36-month minimum term ran out Jul 19, 2026 with no renewal evidence.
