Looking for a duplex with a low entry price and plenty of room to add value? Here it is. This 2-story property features two 2BR and 1BA units, separate utilities (except water) and was occupied by the owner for decades. The roof was completely replaced in 2023, two furnaces installed in 2009, and water heater was replaced in 2016. Low maintenance metal siding. Legally conforming duplex with R2 zoning! Now for the part you already figured out from the price: the interior needs work. This is not a lipstick-and-list property. It's a fix up, collect rent and build equity kind of opportunity. The low price reflects the condition while still being an exceptional value, giving you the chance to put your rehab dollars where they matter and come out with a strong rental or resale asset. Property and all contents are being sold strictly "AS IS, WHERE IS." Buyer to verify all defects independently, but no repairs will be made by seller. Sold through Trust to settle estate. Run your numbers and make an offer. No FHA or VA financing offers will be considered by seller. If you're looking for value and upside, you better come take a look ASAP!
