Whether you're a first-time homebuyer looking to live in one unit and rent out the other, or a seasoned investor adding to your portfolio, this property checks all the boxes.
Both units are in good condition, with modern layouts and only a few updates needed to maximize rental income and equity growth.
Previously rented for $1700/month with the potential of reaching $2100/month with updates, the property's proximity to Temple University also makes it ideal for student housing.
