This historic Irvington multi-family property (5 beds, 4 baths, 3,000 sqft) is listed at $149K and clearly needs significant rehab, but its location is a real winner—just steps from popular shops, parks, and restaurants. Nearby single-family comps in this area are selling between $237K and $344K, and multi-family comps are valuing similar-size units around $153K–$172K. That leaves some room to add value, but the place has sat for a while and the needed repairs could eat into your profit margin.
If you're an investor, you might want to walk the property with a contractor to get a realistic rehab estimate—factor in holding and selling costs, too. For a homeowner looking to sell, focus on cosmetic updates and clear out any clutter to make the layout shine for buyers. Either way, pricing it competitively and marketing the rental income potential will be key. Buyers love a 'cash cow' opportunity, but don't overpromise on the upside.
