Both units feature luxury vinyl flooring, new countertops, and stainless steel appliances, delivered completely vacant so you can move in immediately and hand-select your tenant.

The true power lies in the numbers: while renting a comparable 1BR costs $2,850/month, you can own this entire duplex with an effective mortgage of just $4,476/month after rental income.
