This property can meet the needs of an investor, (current neighborhood rents range from 950 to 1,100 a month for this floor plan & current tenant is interested in renewing their lease), and also an owner occupant. If you're a potential owner occupant, consider locking down your future home now at a great price. Though you'd have to wait for the current lease to expire at the end of September, you can lock down your home at todays price & mitigate the risk of your interest rate continuing to climb. The current tenants lease would cover the majority of your expenses until you'd then be able to occupy later this fall. The interior cosmetics are pretty turn key. The current tenant has helped to keep the property in tip top shape. If you're looking for a win in a competitive market, this property needs to be on your radar. Cash, conventional, FHA, VA, & Portfolio loans are available purchasing options. Do not procrastinate. Make like Tom Brady & make a quick accurate read on a great value!
