Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This five-unit apartment complex consists of three buildings on a downtown Sarasota corner lot. Building #1 includes two 1-bedroom/1-bath units. Building #2 includes two 2-bedroom/1-bath units. Building #3 is a cottage/studio. The property is fully rented under month-to-month annual agreements, and includes common area laundry as an amenity for tenants.

The property is located in DTN zoning. City zoning allows weekly rentals, and the offering is positioned as both an income-producing purchase and an opportunity to develop under DTN zoning. Public remarks indicate the property is a few blocks from Main Street with downtown restaurants, shops, and bars, and about two blocks from Sarasota City Park with tennis courts, a playground, and a dog park.

The seller is offering owner/seller financing to prospective buyers, with a 60% minimum down payment requirement and attractive financing terms. Minimum balloon options may be considered, and the seller will not enter a second position as a lender.
