About This Home
This turn-key Oakland duplex is a premier opportunity for investors or house-hackers looking to generate immediate cash flow. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom property is perfectly split into two mirror-image, top-and-bottom 2BR/1BA units. The bottom unit has been freshly renovated to attract top of market rent tenants and will keep overhead low for years to come. The interior shines with a fresh coat of paint and newly updated flooring, providing a modern, low-maintenance aesthetic that is ready for occupancy the day you close. Situated in a central location near Brookfield Village, the property offers easy access to I-880, Oakland International Airport, and the Coliseum, making it a highly desirable spot for commuters and those who are locally employed. With the heavy lifting of renovations already complete, you can skip the "fixer-upper" phase and move straight to maximizing your ROI. Whether you're looking to offset your mortgage by living in one unit or want a hands-off addition to your portfolio, this duplex is a savvy, high-yield asset in a growing market.
