Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This up-and-down duplex offers an investor-friendly layout on a corner lot, with the original staircase still in place. The property is currently set up with month-to-month tenants and no long-term leases, creating flexibility for an owner to manage occupancy and rent. The lower unit is generating $550 per month, while the upper unit is vacant.

Positioned just off Hwy 17 and about one block from Hwy 67, the home provides convenient access to local roadway routes. Recent updates include an updated upstairs bathroom and newly added exterior stairs to the upper unit, supporting day-to-day functionality and access.

Operating expenses are partially split: the seller pays for water, sewer, and disposal, while tenants pay gas and electric. The configuration also provides an option for converting back to a single-family home if desired.
