What a stunning home & investment opportunity. 2 blocks from Washington Park sits this stately home that’s been converted into a 4-plex. Did you see those corbels & that porch? The staircase? Four good sized 1 bedroom apartments that could be converted to 2 bedroom apartments with some renovating. Currently rented with two tenants that would like to stay(one has been there for 15 years). Rental income currently $940. Average monthly operating expenses $379. Tenant pays electricity. Don’t let this one slip by you, call for even more information & pictures(of rented apartments.) Property is in need of repairs as it is a big ol beautiful home, with so much potential to be had here. Two open units waiting to be rented AND it's already over a 1% investment as it sits now. Home is being sold as-is, as reported. They don't make them like this anymore, here's your chance to own & restore this gem. Information not warranted
