About This Home

Investment opportunity featuring a well-maintained 4-unit property situated on a corner lot with strong upside potential. The building consists of two 2-bedroom units and two 1-bedroom units, with separate gas and electric services. The lower 1-bedroom units utilize electric heat, while the upper 2-bedroom units have gas heat, with tenants responsible for their own utilities. Shared water service currently serves all four units, but the property is equipped with four separate hot water heaters, providing a potential path to individually meter water and further improve cash flow. Residents enjoy a shared yard and abundant street parking. Property is being sold AS IS. Great addition to an investment portfolio with straightforward management and future value-add opportunities.
