Property Description
Don't miss this excellent investment opportunity! This fully renovated duplex features two 2-bedroom, 1-bath units and is being sold completely vacant, giving the new owner the flexibility to set market rents or occupy one unit while renting the other. Previous tenants paid $1,600 per month per unit, generating $38,400 in annual gross rental income. Live in one unit and let the rental income from the other help offset your mortgage, or lease both units for strong cash flow. Recent renovations are nearing completion, making this a true turnkey investment with limited maintenance. Tenants pay their own utilities, keeping owner expenses low with primarily taxes, insurance, and routine maintenance. Whether you're an investor looking to add to your portfolio or a buyer searching for an owner-occupied investment property, this duplex offers outstanding flexibility and income potential.
