Fantastic Investment Opportunity in Red-Hot North Lawndale! Presenting a rare chance to own a legal 2-flat in the rapidly developing North Lawndale neighborhood! Each unit boasts 3 spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a dining room that can be converted into a fourth bedroom for increased rental income. The unfinished walkout basement with high ceilings offers future potential to convert into a legal third unit. Located in the WEST ADU Zone and a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District, this property is a prime candidate for a buyer using an FHA 203k loan to customize it to their vision. The first-floor tenant will be moving out in May, and the property will be delivered vacant at closing, allowing for immediate occupancy or rental. Comparable renovated 2-unit properties have sold for an average of $484,000 within a 1-mile radius, while legal 3-units have sold for $572,000. With strong cash flow potential, renovated 3-bedroom apartments in the area are renting for an average of $1,733 per month, and 4-bedroom apartments for $1,990 per month. This property will be delivered free of code violations, offering a clean slate for a buyer seeking huge equity upside, whether as an investment or to convert into a 3-unit and live in one unit while the other two units pay for the property expenses. Don't miss this excellent opportunity to capitalize on North Lawndale's growing market!
