This isn't a house — it's a PERFORMING ASSET built for the buyer who understands the difference. Vinyl siding, vinyl windows, new and refinished hardwood floors, and fresh paint throughout mean the heavy lifting is already done — you aren't buying a project, you are buying a platform ready to produce from day one. ALL FOUR UNITS ARE SEPARATELY METERED, so tenants pay their own utilities, your expenses stay predictable, and your numbers stay clean. No overlap. No drag. Just controlled income. Two separate driveways add real-world convenience that reduces tenant friction and supports long-term occupancy — because high occupancy isn't luck, it's the result of a property that works for the people living in it. There's also a potential 3-BEDROOM, 2-BATH OWNER'S UNIT, giving you the flexibility to house hack and let the other three units cover your mortgage, or optimize the full building for maximum rental income. Four units means FOUR INCOME STREAMS under one roof — one vacancy does not stop the machine. This is the property that every financial freedom book points to. The structure is already in place. The only question is whether you are ready to own something that works while you sleep. Schedule a showing today. Delayed Negotiations, 4/27 at 12pm.
