Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This is a legally distressed five-unit multifamily apartment building with multiple reported violations. The property is being marketed as a distressed sale, with the outcome of any short-sale approval potentially dependent on the buyer’s offer.

According to the public remarks, all but one tenant has moved out, and the current scenario is most likely to involve a cash-for-keys arrangement. The seller is only accepting offers from direct buyers and is not accepting wholesales, assignments, or novations.

Because the property’s condition is tied to reported legal matters and remaining tenant status, prospective buyers should plan for approval steps and an orderly transition consistent with the stated move-out situation.

Key Highlights

  • Distressed five‑unit multifamily building with multiple violations
  • Short sale approval may be required depending on the buyer’s offer
  • All but 1 tenant has moved out; cash to keys is most likely
