The long term owner has meticulously cared for the property and is offering this as a low maintenance turnkey asset for a new investor. One thing that makes this apartment building unique versus other similar size buildings is that each unit has electric baseboard heaters which the tenants pay for reducing the owners operational costs. Average in-place rents for the two-bedrooms are 1,329.00/month and the one-bedroom rents for $1,135.00/month. There are eight detached garages which brings in an additional $600.00/month.
