Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This residential income property consists of three separate rentable units on one lot. The front home has been converted into a duplex, providing two self-contained units. One duplex unit features an efficiency layout with an open kitchen, living/sleeping area, bathroom, and closet. The second front unit includes a spacious living room, a separate bedroom, a full kitchen, a bathroom, plus a dedicated storage room and a laundry area.

The rear home serves as the third unit and offers two bedrooms, a comfortable living room, a full kitchen, a bathroom, and its own laundry space. The property includes two homes, with each home having its own water and electric meter, helping support separation of utilities between the front and rear structures. The property is located in historic downtown Brownsville, TX at 902 E Monroe St.

For an owner-operator or investor, the configuration may appeal for managing multiple rental households within a single property footprint. Two of the three units are currently tenant-occupied, which may provide immediate rental income for the next owner while maintaining the option to update or lease available space as needed.

Key Highlights

  • Three rentable units on one lot: front home converted into a duplex plus a rear two‑bedroom home
  • Two of the three units are currently tenant‑occupied, providing immediate rental income for the next owner
