Based on local comps and market data, this two-family in East Arlington can command a combined monthly rent between $5,590 and $7,322. Each unit, with 2 beds and 1 bath, likely rents for $2,800–$3,600 depending on finish and updates. At max income, annual revenue could reach $88K. Projected payback period (gross) falls between 12–16 years, not accounting for expenses. The East Arlington rental market is steady, showing low vacancy, high demand for larger units, and stable year-over-year rents—ideal for investors seeking strong occupancy and resilience. The property’s classic features (porches, hardwoods, private yard, garage) and proximity to transit, parks, and top schools strongly support rental potential. However, older infrastructure and lack of central cooling may limit top-end rent unless modernized.

To maximize rent, update kitchens and baths, add in-unit laundry, and consider central A/C or mini-splits—these amenities consistently outperform in attracting quality tenants and boosting rent above average. If selling, highlight the strong school ratings, two-car garage, expansion potential (walk-up attic, basement), and walkable location. Investor buyers will appreciate the stable income and local demand, but transparency about mechanicals and energy efficiency upgrades will help justify a premium price.
