Budget Estimate (AI):

$200,000 – $500,000

The budget for this opportunity is expected to be the Fair Market Value Rent (FMVR) of the property, which is determined to be $18.00/SF NNN for the first-floor space, $13.50/SF NNN for the second-floor space, and $9.00/SF NNN for the third-floor space and the carriage house. Based on the approximate square footage of the property (8,800 SF for the mansion and 600 SF for the carriage house), the estimated annual rent would be around $141,600 for the first floor, $99,450 for the second floor, and $45,000 for the third floor and carriage house, totaling around $286,050 per year. However, this is just an estimate and the actual budget may vary depending on the final lease terms and the lessee's proposed use of the property.
