New insulated windows installed throughout. Upper unit is a finished 1-Br completely renovated 2021 with new drywall, paint, flooring, bath toilet/tub and new kitchen cabinets. Rents @ $1080/month since 2021 (same tenant, rent never raised since 2021) tenant pays electric and water. Lower 2-Br unit is partially finished, work in progress with new drywall almost completed then ready for spackle, paint and flooring (work continues until sold).
