Live For Free! (well...at least close to it!) Perhaps you'd rather passive income? Either way - run the numbers on this 5 BR house and you'll see that it's an amazing deal for a duplex in Taylor. Set on a quiet street in a fantastic community, this 2000 square foot home offers a 3 BR/1.5 bath with large kitchen and family room on one side. And a 2 BR/1 bath with large kitchen and family room on the other (this unit was originally a 3 bedroom and can be easily converted back if desired). With a newer roof (2007), porch (2019) and furnace (2018) most of the big-ticket items have already been upgraded. Both units have a front porch, back porch, yard and private laundry. One unit has long term, reliable tenants. Owner has lived in unit 2 for the past 17 years and is only selling because she recently got married. So, you're getting a place that has been very well maintained. The choice is yours - live in the house and let the tenants pay your mortgage. Or rent out both sides and make some passive income. But either way, don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to own a duplex in the Riverside School District for under 200k!
