Carpenter-owned, managed, & remodeled CityView duplex; just vacated after gathering $1,275/month in rent even when it was outdated. Market min. rent of $1,125/side at ARV will put you at min. 27% cap, especially with the rarity of the parking/lot size & the 2nd ½-bath in each unit.
Chronological photo reel will tell the story of the *contrasting sides*:
-one ¾-remodeled+
-1 essentially a full-gut
Good components (hot water tanks, furnaces, roof, etc.).
Identical sides:
- LL: Full baths & 1st BR
- ML: ½-bath, kitchen, living room
- UL: the 2nd BR
- Walkout basements
- Shared large shed
- Basement laundry
- Double-lot – over ¼-acre(!!)
- Separate front entrances under covered porch (both front+rear)
- Off-street parking on BOTH sides of the property – 1 side for each unit!!
3rd floor of the actively remodeled unit just needs the bedroom finished; rest is done (kitchen, both baths, new flooring .. ) [pictured midway through reel].
