Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This duplex consists of two separate 3-bedroom, 1-bath units. The seller describes one unit as vacant and ready for an owner-occupant or new resident, while the other unit is currently rented. Each unit features a layout that includes living and dining areas, a kitchen, and bedrooms described as spacious. Basements are included for additional utility, with laundry and room for storage, and the property also offers outdoor space including a front patio and a large yard at the rear.

The property is located at 1157-1159 East 18th Avenue in Columbus, Ohio, and the seller notes it is minutes from the highway and close to shopping and local dining options.

From an operator or owner-occupant standpoint, the configuration supports either renting both sides or occupying one unit while leasing the other. The presence of basements with laundry and storage can help reduce tenant friction, and the vacancy allows for immediate occupancy planning. The currently rented unit is described as $1,400 per month, and the seller notes a market rate closer to $1,625.
