About this home

Perfect opportunity for either an owner occupant who wants to live in a 5 room, 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath first floor unit with a driveway while collecting $3450 in rent from two units above or an investor looking for a great building with good cash flow and very low maintenance to add to their portfolio. This building generates $5250 a month in rent and has not proven to be a costly asset regarding maintenance in 2 years current property manager has overseen it. Good income and low expenses, perfect recipe for any investor. If owner occupant buyer is interested then Unit 1 can be delivered vacant for the sale. For an investor buyer there is plenty of room for growth on current rent roll with existing tenants as can add up to $450 per month through standard rent increases.
