Great income producing property! Consisting of 7 units: 4 studios and 3 one bedroom/one bath with 2 car carport. Ample street parking and close to bus lines. Owner replaced all of the posts and beams under the house as this is a post and pier construction. One studio has been fully renovated and one has been partially renovated.

Owner experimented with fully renovating a unit and the rent was increased from $950 to $1400! This is a significant increase with a small investment for renovation.
