About This Home
Well kept two flat on the city's south side fully occupied and ready for a new owner. Two long term renters love their homes and hope to remain. Turn key rental operation is the result. After entering the fully fenced front yard you're welcomed to the covered front porch. Inside the front door is an enclosed front porch leading to both units, one on the first floor and one on the second floor. The layout for the homes are identical, with living room, eat-in kitchen, two beds, and a full bath in each unit. The rear porch, also enclosed, has a walk up to the unfinisihed attic as well as the cellar style basement. Leaving the rear porch into the backyard, you will find a sizable fully fenced yard space as well as 4 parking spots off street. Renters pay Nipsco, gas and electric, and the owner pays just the ultra low East Chicago rate for water, sewer, and trash. Professionally managed, thoughtfully updated, and well maintained by two ideal renters, this is the investment opportunity you've been waiting to find! Do not hesitate, opportunities like this do not surface on the open market often. Showings will be confirmed as to limit the disturbance of our top tier renters, so please reach out to your brokers with proof of funds or financing, and allow 48 hours for confirmation.
