Property Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Investor opportunity in Lakeland with tenant already in place and producing immediate cash flow. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home features a spacious open floor plan, large fenced backyard, solid subfloors, and a strong foundation. Roof was replaced approximately 2 years ago, and the HVAC system is under 10 years old and operating properly. Property is currently tenant occupied with lease in place through October 2026 and tenant paying market rent - offering investors stable income from day one. Priced well below comparable renovated properties, this is a great opportunity for a buy-and-hold investor looking to add to their rental portfolio. Property is being sold as-is, with strong upside potential and major systems already addressed.
