This is a legal duplex bungalow, 70 by 100 feet on a quiet Orleans street with no rear neighbours. The main floor has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, its own laundry, and a kitchen with newer appliances. The finished basement is a separate 2-bedroom unit with its own kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. Both units have separate entrances, so tenants come and go without crossing paths. Right now the upper unit rents for $2,416/month and the lower for $1,950, utilities included, giving a gross annual income of about $52,392. The upper unit is vacant at the moment, so you could move in yourself or re-rent it. There's an attached garage and space for 7 cars total, plus a fenced yard. The lot is 70 x 100 feet, and it's only 1.2 km to Place D'Orleans mall and 0.5 km to Our Lady of Wisdom Catholic School. The asking price of $799,900 is in line with the median nearby, and houses are selling in about 3 months on average. It's a solid investment, and the separate utilities for each unit mean you can adjust rents as leases come up. Just be aware the owner pays utilities for both units now, so factor that into your expenses.
