Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1920, the property is described as a turnkey duplex with updated units featuring modern finishes. The inclusion of individual laundry for each unit and a pre-inspected status suggests the property is well-maintained and move-in ready, fitting the 5-15 year renovation profile.
Situated just steps from the Light Rail and Columbia City's vibrant dining and shopping district, the property offers exceptional convenience and high rental demand.
The duplex features modern updates, individual laundry in each unit, and existing tenants, providing immediate cash flow with minimal near-term capital expenditure.
With a 3-bedroom and a 2-bedroom unit, the property is perfectly configured for either 'house hacking' or a pure investment play, further supported by a pre-inspection.
At 191 days on the market, the property may face buyer hesitation or perception issues regarding its current price point relative to market velocity.
The modest 2,159 sqft lot offers very little outdoor space for tenants and restricts future expansion or additional development opportunities on the site.
