About 1088 42nd St

Cute & clean duplex right on 42nd st, tons of privacy for tenants and easy-to-access off-street parking. The front unit is a 400 sqft one bedroom unit and rented for 700/mo (month to month) and the back unit is 450 sqft previously rented for 700 but will be vacant by June 30th. Total market rents are around 1900 per month. This place as wonderful charm. There is a doorway between both units so it COULD be rented more like a 2 bed 2 bath if the new owner chose to do that. New HVAC in the last few years. Separate HVAC for both units. Current rental license in place with the city of Des Moines.
