DETROIT BRICK DUPLEX | TWO UNITS • VALUE-ADD OPPORTUNITY • $41,300
TWO UNITS. TWO INCOME STREAMS. ONE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD EQUITY.
Looking for a Detroit investment where the acquisition price leaves room to execute your own renovation strategy?
Take a look at this brick duplex on Montgomery Street.
Offered at just $41,300, this property gives investors an opportunity to acquire a two-unit asset at approximately $20,650 per unit, reposition it through renovation, and pursue either a long-term rental strategy or a renovated resale.
This isn't a turnkey investment. It's a substantial value-add project for an investor who knows how to renovate, manage costs, and recognize potential in Detroit's existing multifamily housing stock.

WHY THIS PROPERTY DESERVES A LOOK
1. Two units for less than $45K
At this acquisition basis, investors aren't paying a stabilized multifamily price. They're acquiring the opportunity to create a stabilized asset.
The low purchase price provides flexibility to allocate more capital toward the improvements that matter: building systems, functional layouts, kitchens, bathrooms, and durable rental-ready finishes.
2. Brick construction and established Detroit character
This is the type of existing housing stock that can appeal to investors who specialize in restoring older Detroit properties.
Rather than starting with vacant land or new construction, you're working with an established two-unit building and an existing residential layout.
3. Multiple potential exit strategies
Renovate & Rent: Restore both units and pursue two separate rental income streams, subject to verified market rents and operating expenses.
Renovate & Resell: Complete a comprehensive renovation and evaluate resale potential against renovated multifamily comparables.
Buy & Hold: Acquire at a relatively low initial basis, improve the asset over time, and pursue long-term ownership.
The opportunity is in the flexibility to choose a strategy that fits your renovation experience, financing, and investment goals.

RENOVATION POTENTIAL

With the right renovation plan, the goal is straightforward: transform an underutilized two-family property into a functional asset capable of serving two households.
Bring your contractor. Run your numbers. Evaluate the upside.
