Remarks

Excellent Investment Opportunity from this ocean view property in Morro Heights! Two separate Spanish style homes each offering great income potential. The larger home which has two bedrooms, one bath, enclosed sun room, and a large backyard is currently tenant occupied, and rents for $2,300 per month. The smaller home that sits at the top of the driveway has one bedroom and one bath, a garage, a small yard area with a shed, and has a rental history of $1,550 per month. Both homes have hardwood floors, double-paned windows, tankless water heaters, and the larger home has a dishwasher and a free standing gas furnace. There is a separate address and gas, water, electrical meters for each home, and a new electrical panel. This is a great business opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with expanding future potential or someone who is looking for a starter property with active income.
