About this home
ATTENTION INVESTORS: SECTION 8 VALUE-ADD UPSIDE — RENT RESET PLAY WITH PROJECTED $1,600–$1,900/MO
Ideal for an investor who wants control and upside instead of just inheriting an old, under-market lease. The current CMHA tenant is on a month-to-month lease and has fallen behind on rent, but is cooperative and willing to work with ownership, creating a natural transition point to either structure a cure plan or non-renew and bring in a fresh, fully qualified Section 8 tenant at today's stronger rent levels. Based on current CMHA schedules and area performance, a refreshed tenancy is expected to support a revised rent in the projected $1,500–$1,900/month range, subject to CMHA approval and buyer verification. The house also has a value-add opportunity with ample basement space to add 2 more bedrooms, increasing the rent potential to $1800-2400/mo.
Located in a high-demand rental corridor on Cleveland's east side, this property sits in a strong proven Section 8 pocket where homes lease quickly and stay full. The house itself is in good shape, with key CapEx already handled — including a recent partial roof replacement — helping limit long-term deferred maintenance and keeping the focus on rent strategy rather than heavy repairs. Lead-based paint testing has been completed and passed, with the report available upon request, offering a compliance-ready asset for a new owner.
Month-to-month status gives maximum flexibility to line up your next tenant and transition on your schedule while keeping options open with the current, cooperative renter. Once stabilized with a new or restructured Section 8 contract at updated rent, this becomes the kind of low-drama, government-backed income stream that performs well as a long-term hold.
