Overview

This well-maintained duplex contains two separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom units. Unit 1 is ranch-style and currently occupied by a long-term tenant; the tenant pays $650 per month and is responsible for their own utilities. Unit 2 is an up/down-style unit that is vacant and move-in ready, allowing for immediate occupancy upon rental. Photos are provided for Unit 2.

The property is located within the city limits and is currently certified through 2028. Showing access is available for the vacant unit only, and access to the occupied unit will be provided upon receipt of an acceptable offer.

For an owner-operator or first-time investor, the duplex offers two income units with one already generating rent and the other ready to be leased. The vacant unit can be rented immediately at approximately $650 per month, and the owner has indicated that updates may support higher rent in the future. The current certification status through 2028 provides a defined window for ongoing compliance and planning.
