For Sale - Active
2 Units

Exceptional investment opportunity in Dorchester for aggressive investors seeking strong absolute returns! This cash cow offers over an 8% cap rate, with four rental units fully leased through 8/31/2025 and generating $8,850 monthly, plus an additional $200–$300 from a coin-operated laundry. Each unit features 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a living room, and an eat-in kitchen — highly desirable layouts that drive rental demand. All electrical panels have been upgraded, and there is a separate common electric and gas meter for added efficiency. The property also features a newer forced air heating system for low-maintenance operation. Current rents are below market, and a new owner can easily raise rents by 20–30% starting September 2025. Prime location just a few minutes' walk to Fields Corner Red Line station. A true turnkey asset delivering strong cash flow today with major upside ahead. Property to be sold in "As-Is, As-Seen" Condition. Buyers to perform their own due diligence.
