Great investment opportunity just outside the North Gate of LSU. This property needs renovation but can generate over $3,000 a month in revenue after rented. It features 4 spacious 1 bed, 1 baths and 2 studio units. The 3 downstairs units received a little bit of water in 2016 and have been gutted. Upstairs units need some cosmetic repairs. A new roof was just installed a few weeks ago and all new windows are on standby for installation by Relief Windows, which is included in the cost. Flood insurance is required and current policy is $1,300 a year. Rents should be $550+ for the 1 bedrooms and approximately $450 for the studios. OWNER/AGENT
