The houses are doubles and have, two three bedroom flats in each. One garage is a two car garage and the other is a concrete block structures 24 x 34. There is an empty lot in between the two doubles and in front of the larger garage. Total income at this time is $2100 per month. Fully occupied. Asking 175,000 for the whole complex. Good speculation property as it is in a prime location on Delaware. Please, pre-qualified and responsible buyers only. I will send photos and copy of survey to interested parties.
