Overview

Description

Prime Lyn-Lake Investment Opportunity An exceptional chance to acquire a well-maintained duplex in one of Minneapolis’ most vibrant neighborhoods. Steps to the Greenway Bike Trail, Soo Line, top restaurants, and retail, this property offers both immediate cash flow and long-term appreciation potential. Recent capital improvements include: new roof, siding, Rusco windows, and refinished hardwood floors (all 2019), plus updated kitchens, baths, light fixtures, and stainless appliances. A 4-car parking area adds rare convenience. Utilities are separately metered for gas and electric, reducing owner overhead. Current income streams: Upper Unit – Market-rate tenant paying $1,775/month through June 2026. Main Floor Unit - Market-rate tenant paying $1,600/month with 12-month lease beginning March 2026. This unit has previously been a proven Airbnb performer, averaging an estimated $3,500/month. Flexible for investors or owner-occupants: live in one unit and generate income from the other, or maximize both as cash-flowing rentals. Strong fundamentals today and positioned for future redevelopment or land value play in this high-demand corridor. Exceptional value. Strong income. Limited opportunity. Act now.
