Remarks

Investor special in Detroits up-and-coming Fitzgerald neighborhood! This solid brick duplex at 15865 Cloverlawn St features two 2-bedroom, 1-bath units located directly across the street from Mary McLeod Bethune Academy and just minutes from University of Detroit Mercy and Marygrove College. The property has a NEWER ROOF, approximately three years old, and is currently fully occupied with a month-to-month tenant paying $950 per month to occupy both units, providing immediate income with room to increase rents. Each unit offers a spacious layout and strong bones, with plenty of potential for value-add updates to maximize returns. Market rents in the area average $800$900 per unit, offering a great opportunity for investors to improve cash flow through light renovations or repositioning. The Fitzgerald neighborhood has benefited from significant revitalization efforts, including the $4 million Fitzgerald Revitalization Project, which continues to attract investment and new development. This property offers an affordable entry point into a growing neighborhood with long-term appreciation potential, perfect for both new and experienced investors. At the current rent, the duplex still offers a respectable ~10.8% cap rate. Once re-rented at market levels, the property becomes a cash-flow powerhouse, with a 2327% cap rate, depending on the rent achieved. This highlights a major value-add opportunity for an investor to buy based on current performance but realize significantly higher returns once the property is repositioned.
