THE "CLEAN SLATE" UNICORN: 100% VACANT, 100% TURNKEY, 0% BAGGAGE. Why inherit someone else’s problem? Stop competing for buildings burdened by under-market rents, delinquent tenants, or deferred maintenance. 1608 17th Pl SE offers the rarest asset in the District: a 4-unit building where all four (4) large 2-Bedroom units are 100% vacant and freshly updated. This is a true "Plug-and-Play" asset. Skip the months of legal hurdles and TOPA delays. Move in or move tenants in on Day 1. For the House-Hacker: Live in one premium 2-bedroom unit and let the other three units pay your entire mortgage. For the Investor: This is a total reset. You screen the tenants, you set the lease terms, and you capture 100% of today’s market-rate rents or maximum voucher ceilings through the Rent Reasonableness program. NO UPFRONT CAPITAL REQUIRED: The building is freshly updated and ready for immediate occupancy. From the modern flooring to the updated kitchens, the work is done. While your competition is stuck negotiating with legacy tenants, you’ll be signing leases at peak market value under your own terms. Don't just buy a building—buy total control.
