Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The property operates as a legal six-unit rooming house and is currently configured as a 6-bedroom, 2.5-bath rental. It is fully leased through July 2027. Seller-provided underwriting also cites $4,200 per month in rental income and a gross annual income of $50,400.

A key consideration is the property’s grandfathered zoning rights. The building is described as a 6-unit property “by right,” and the zoning designation is positioned to support future value-add considerations subject to buyer due diligence. The listing also notes an investor alert for all showings, requiring 24-hour notice.

From an occupancy standpoint, the current lease structure supports stability for an owner seeking in-place rental operations. The listing further describes the location as being steps from Temple University’s main campus and within the campus patrol zone, aligning the property with off-campus housing demand for renters associated with the university.

Key Highlights

  • Currently operating as a legal six‑unit rooming house with grandfathered zoning rights
  • Income of $4,200/month ($50,400 gross annual income) with tenants fully leased through July 2027
  • Nearly 9% cap rate (as stated in the listing remarks)
