Description

Investor Alert! 24-Hour Notice Required for All Showings

This single-family investment property in the heart of Temple University's student housing market offers immediate income with significant upside. The unit is currently leased through July 2026 at $1,300/month ($15,600 annually), below the property's historical market rent of $2,600/month, presenting a strong opportunity for a rent reset upon lease turnover.
The property features a 4-bedroom, 2-bath layout across two floors, plus an unfinished basement for additional storage:

First Floor: 1 Bedroom / 1 Full Bath
Second Floor: 3 Bedrooms / 1 Full Bath

A standout feature is the private roof deck — a rare and highly
sought-after amenity in this market that consistently boosts leasing appeal and supports strong long-term rentability with student tenants.

Located just steps from Temple University's main campus and within the Temple University Patrol Zone.
Current rent: $1,300/mo. Historical/market rent: $2,600/mo. Buyer to verify all financials, cap rate, and NOI independently.
