Great opportunity to own an Income-producing property with 2BR/1BA main home + separate studio, both tenant occupied and currently generating $2,150/month ($25,800/year) in combined gross rent. Main home rents for $1,200/month with lease through February; studio rents for $950/mo. Both units remodeled within the last 2 years with updated flooring/carpet, paint, fixtures & more. Studio features its own breaker panel, upgraded electrical & electric water heater. At a $185K, current rents equal approximately 14.7% gross annual yield before expenses. Excellent opportunity to acquire an occupied rental with two existing income streams. Or purchase it as your own home and rent out the small mother-in-law apartment. So many options!! Do not disturb tenants. Showings by appointment only. Buyer to verify zoning, permitting, measurements & intended use. Showings will begin Saturday September 5th through Showing Time. Open House 11:00am - 1:00pm Saturday, September 5th.

What to check on this one

  • Verify zoning allows 2-unit rental use and in-law suite legally
  • Obtain permits & documentation for studio addition and separate electrical panel
  • Get 4-point inspection—1955 home likely needs roof/HVAC/plumbing assessment
  • Confirm flood zone designation and whether elevation certificate required
  • Review lease agreements, tenant histories, and rent collection proof
  • Inspect polybutylene/cast-iron plumbing common in 1955 builds

Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
