Highest and best due Sunday 4/26 at 5PM! Solid 3-unit investment opportunity in Joliet offering strong upside and flexibility for the next owner. The property consists of two front units and a rear apartment. Each of the main units features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a functional layout with separate living room, dining room, and kitchen spaces. The rear unit is a 1-bedroom studio-style apartment, providing an additional income stream. The property includes a full basement with storage and shared laundry (washer and dryer), along with 3 separate meters. Additional improvements include a rubberized roof replaced approximately 9 years ago, a new side door, and two new side windows. There is also 1 exterior parking space where a garage previously stood. Mechanicals include hot water tanks from 2021 and 2011, with two units sharing one system and the rear unit on the other.
