What's special

Excellent opportunity to own a 3-unit multifamily property with vacant units ready for new tenants, giving the next owner flexibility to set rents and choose their own tenants. Major improvements include all-new plumbing, updated electrical, a new sewer line to the road, plus a newer furnace and central A/C. With many of the big-ticket improvements already completed and the ability to get the units producing income, this property offers strong potential for an investor looking to add to their portfolio.
