Whether you're an investor chasing yield or an owner looking to house hack your way into real estate, 2407 Petsel Place checks every box. This fully remodeled two-story duplex delivers a great cap rate with two income streams built in — a short-term rental upstairs and a long-term tenant downstairs — both units freshly updated in 2025 and ready to cash flow from day one.
Location does the heavy lifting here. Situated less than 2 miles from the University of Iowa, UI Hospitals & Clinics, and Kinnick Stadium, this property sits in one of Iowa's most consistent rental corridors — low vacancy, steady demand, and a tenant pool that never dries up. Add a grocery store nearby and direct access to the Iowa City bus line, and you have a property that practically rents itself.
Live downstairs, collect rent upstairs — or add it to your portfolio as a standalone acquisition or part of a larger Iowa City package that is currently available.
