Whether you're a first-time homebuyer looking to live in one unit and rent out the other, or a seasoned investor adding to your portfolio, this property checks all the boxes.
Both units are in good condition, with modern layouts and only a few updates needed to maximize rental income and equity growth.
Previously rented for $1700/month with the potential of reaching $2100/month with updates, the property's proximity to Temple University also makes it ideal for student housing. Unit 1 offers two bedrooms, one full bathroom, open kitchen living space , access to a private backyard, and an unfinished basement for extra storage with laundry hook up. Unit 2 mirrors the same 2-bed, 1-bath layout with generous living space, kitchen, and great natural light throughout with laundry hook up. This is a low-maintenance, high-potential property that qualifies for FHA(203K)loans or 3% down conventional financing, plus potential grant options to help reduce out-of-pocket costs.
