PREVIOUS UPDATE FOR: SEPTEMBER 3rd, 2011, Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!

Let's start of with the fun retro named "TIKI" apartments, all eight units in Lake City, for $775K total price for ALL EIGHT apts, which include one huge 3BR "owner's unit" AND SEVEN one-bedroom units: Interesting "cross-hatched" metal sculpture/screens on the exterior walls, and the same motifs carry onto the modern wrought iron stair railings, and nice running-bond brick lower level: Better income than you can get off the stock market or gold, obviously, for that matter, and much better tax write offs than either of those options, way better:


Here's the text for the "TIKI" apts above:

MLS#: 269277 Status: Active on Sept 3rd, '11  List Price: $775,000

Marketing Remarks: The Tiki Apartments is a 2 story, 8 unit, building built in 1978. It offers 7
large 1BD/1BTH units as well as a 3BD/1BTH unit. Ground floor units enjoy private patio areas
while some upper floor units have balconies. An on-site coin operated laundry room provides
additional income, while ample parking in both the front and the back of the building provides
spaces for tenants to park off-street. The Tiki provides an impressive cash flow as is, or could be
a great value add opportunity.
