Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This property is a clean, well-maintained two-unit residential building rebuilt from the studs out following a fire in 2012, with major interior and exterior replacements completed by 2014. New work included walls, floors, doors, ceilings, studs, joists, rafters, drywall, electrical, plumbing, roof, windows, bathrooms, and kitchens. Exterior improvements included new insulation inside and out, along with new siding, doors, windows, stairs, and roof elements. Both power vent water heaters were replaced about two years ago. Each unit has two bedrooms and one bath, plus a dedicated laundry room with a sink (washers and dryers remain with the tenants), and ceiling fans. Kitchens are fully furnished with a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave.

The units are separately metered, and the owner pays only taxes and insurance. The upstairs unit is approximately 1,232 square feet and includes tall and some vaulted ceilings, plus use of the garage. The downstairs unit is approximately 1,540 square feet and includes an extra room that could be used as a third bedroom, den, office, or additional storage, with use of the basement by the tenant. The property is described as close to downtown Lockport.

The layout supports separate tenant living arrangements while maintaining common building consistency, with both units offering comparable bedroom and bath counts and similar appliance packages. Current rents are described as low due to lengthy tenants, providing an operating history already in place for an owner seeking occupied units.
