This is a great passive income investment! A brick home inside the city limits of Athens that currently is rented out and provides supplemental passive income to the property owner. It is a cozy brick home with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. It features a good backyard and a screened in back porch. This property also has had a long term renter, keeping the supplemental income steady!
4 bedroom brick home with attached 1 car garage large enough to include a workshop area. Living room and 3 bedrooms still have the original hardwood floors. There's a good-sized fenced backyard, storage shed and sunroom. The home needs some TLC. Central heat works but central AC does not. Good potential for a flip or hold investment property.
