    What's special

    Tenant-occupied investment opportunity with a proven long-term rental history. Current tenant has occupied the property for decades and is currently paying $750/month. Rent ledger and lease documentation available upon request. Property is being sold as-is and is priced accordingly due to needed repairs and updates. Because the property is tenant occupied, an accepted offer is required prior to interior access or showings. Ask about additional investment opportunities available from the same owner, including a 3-property portfolio featuring professionally managed tenant-occupied homes. Portfolio or package pricing may be available with multiple purchases. Room dimensions are estimated. Seller is related to the agent. Flexible land contract terms available.
