When opportunity knocks, are you the one ready to answer? Yes? Well then let me be the first to welcome you to 722 AND 724 Sequoia St where the possibilities truly seem endless! You read that right . . . it's a BOGO of sorts! TWO single family detached homes being sold together on one lot! Might you want to live in the 2 bed/1 bath home on the front of the lot and rent the larger home, allowing you to dip your toes into the STR waters? Or live in the 3 bed/2 bath home and move your aging parents into the smaller property? Don't need a home of your own but looking to expand your investment portfolio? Two, I repeat TWO homes that can accommodate two separate tenants, two separate leases which means two separate rental incomes. The math is definitely math-ing! Is this too good to betrue? Not at this price! Each home has certainly seen more glorious days but with the right vision, the right muscle and the right budget, the potential for both properties far exceed any current obstacles! In the words of motivational writer, William Arthur Ward . . . "Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them!"
