Property Description
Great income-producing investment opportunity with two separate rental buildings and strong upside potential. The front house features two 2-bedroom, 1-bath units with the upper unit currently leased at $900/month and the lower unit vacant, allowing immediate additional rental income. The rear building includes six individual rental rooms, shared kitchen, communal full bath, plus a half bath with laundry. Current rents total $2,450/month, not including the vacant unit or three empty rooms, leaving room for increased cash flow. Many updates completed including exterior improvements to the front house, partial roof replacement on the front house, new roof on the rear building, full sewer line replacement, updated kitchen and bath in the upper unit, and updated furnace and electrical in the rear building.
