Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This fully updated duplex includes two separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath units. Both units are currently occupied by Section 8 tenants. The seller reports gross scheduled rents of $1,150 per month for one unit and $950 per month for the other, totaling $2,100 per month and $25,200 per year. Recent refreshes include brand-new vinyl windows, fresh paint throughout, new plush carpeting, updated kitchen cabinets and countertops, and new furnaces.

Located in Detroit, the property sits on a 0.09-acre lot and is listed as zoned Residential. The duplex configuration provides two income streams rather than a single tenant, which can be useful for income-focused investors considering a buy-and-hold approach.

For buyers seeking an income-producing residential duplex, the current occupancy and reported Section 8 rent support a straightforward underwriting starting point. The major interior and mechanical items noted in the updates may help reduce near-term maintenance uncertainty compared to a unit needing significant work. Final debt coverage performance would depend on the buyer’s financing terms and full underwriting inputs, and showings are available only with an accepted full-list offer, with instruction not to disturb tenants.

Key Highlights

  • Fully updated duplex with both units occupied by Section 8 tenants: $1,150/mo and $950/mo for $2,100/mo total and $25,200/yr gross scheduled income.
  • Two 2‑bedroom, 1‑bath units (4 bedrooms total) with a basement and separate income streams from each occupied unit.
  • Recent refreshes include brand‑new vinyl windows, fresh paint, new plush carpeting, updated kitchen cabinets and countertops, and new furnaces.
