strong & tight brick duplex off main drag in the Gateway School District
Self-sustaining rental. All mechanicals new. Rock solid bones.
Separate side-by-side entrances with mini front porches to access two big up-down 2-BR units (each ~1,100 sqFt.).
Rear has a big bright red deck. Nice original hardwood inside.
Happy longtime tenants who care for the place as their own.
Don’t have to do a single thing to the property, essentially sit back & collect $1,000/month ‘til you feel like updating it (est. needs $15k to double the current rent / cap at ~18%).
–both units have looong-term tenants who pay utilities (minus H2O)
–*property has a lot of options to work with 👍
