Duplex the first floor unit down or have it set up as an in law arrangement, either way the potential with the space is unlimited. The building had a fire, the rear of each unit is in rough shape, please proceed with caution. Renovate these units and bring the building back to its glory days. there is so much upside here, consider this your blank slate and a gret summer project. Live in one unit, rent the other out or rent them both out while creating long term equity growth! Potential like this does not happen often, Englewood is on fire right now, get in before values continue to rise!
