About this home
PRICE IMPROVEMENT! A rare investment opportunity in Thurmont with multiple income streams and strong rental potential. This property includes two separate homes on one parcel plus eight garage spaces that can be rented individually. Once updated and made fully rentable, the combined rental potential is approximately $4,000 per month (about $48,000 per year). Based on projected rents and the new list price, the gross cap rate is estimated at over 11% Estimated rents: one-bedroom home at $1,400, three-bedroom home at $1,800, and eight garages at $100 each. Live in one home and rent out the other, or lease both properties and the garages for steady income. The property will require updates and is being sold as-is.

The main home is move-in ready, featuring spacious living areas, a main-level bedroom and full bath, two additional bedrooms upstairs, and a sitting room over the kitchen. A new washer and dryer is also located on the main level.
The second home includes a large upstairs bedroom with a full bathroom. The kitchen and second full bath are located on a half-level down (both in need of full rehab). The finished lower level includes a rec room and laundry area with a newer washer and dryer. A large upper-level deck needs repair, but the lumber to rebuild it is included.
