826 Michigan ave
7-Bedroom Student Duplex | $4,025 Gross Potential | Land Contract Financing Available
Marketing description
Prime Student Housing Opportunity | Seller Financing Available | Steps from YSU
Unlock the full potential of student housing with 826 Michigan Avenue, a high-yield duplex strategically located in the heart of the Youngstown State University (YSU) rental corridor. Optimized for the profitable rent-by-the-room model, this 7-bedroom property is perfectly positioned for an investor looking to secure a stabilized, high-performing asset before the fall semester begins.
SELLER FINANCING OPPORTUNITY: To assist with portfolio expansion, the owner is open to Land Contract offers. Terms include 10% down, 8% interest, and a 5-year balloon payment. Interested parties must submit a written Letter of Intent (LOI) outlining their proposed terms prior to a formal Purchase Agreement.
The Financial Opportunity Currently, the property generates steady baseline income, but the true value lies in its 7-bedroom capacity. With a market rate of $575 per bedroom, this asset is poised to generate a Gross Monthly Income of $4,025. To ensure a seamless transition for the new owner, the current management has a pipeline of student applications ready for processing, aiming for 100% occupancy by the July/August move-in window.
Designed for Tenant Success Built for convenience and community, each floor features its own dedicated kitchen and full bathroom. The property includes a shared basement laundry area, ample off-street parking, and extensive storage options for both tenants and the owner via the basement and on-site shed.
Lean Operations & Peace of Mind Investors will benefit from predictable, low-overhead financials. Based on previous full-occupancy performance, monthly expenses average just $764—a figure that comprehensively covers all utilities, high-speed internet, and lawn care, while maintaining a proactive $200 monthly repair reserve. Major structural updates include a durable metal roof (installed under 5 years ago) and effective waterproofing.
Unbeatable Location Success in student housing is driven by location. 826 Michigan delivers:
- Effortless Transit: The YSU Penguin Shuttle picks up directly in front of the building.
- Walking Distance: Both the YSU campus and Wick Park are less than a 10-minute walk away.
