Property Description
Turnkey investment opportunity with immediate income potential! This property includes a detached single-family home and a separate rear rental unit-ideal for investors seeking strong cash flow. The main home offers 3 bedrooms (including a walk-through bedroom that can function as a third bedroom or expanded primary suite) and was previously rented for $1,500/month. The rear unit is currently occupied, generating $775/month in rental income, bringing total potential monthly income to $2,275.
