Listing remarks MLS

Rare duplex opportunity on Lake Shore Blvd. Custom built in 1984 and owned by only two families since, this side-by-side brick duplex offers nearly 2,000 SF per unit with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, private finished basements, and a bonus of separate driveways and private 2-car garages. Only 49 years old, this home was built to high standards and has been diligently maintained - that means you are likely to escape the costly surprises common in Euclid’s older housing stock. It is time, however, for renovations to maximize rental income: kitchens, baths, flooring, and interior paint. For owner-occupants: live in one unit and let your tenant pay your mortgage. For investors - whether this is your first rental property or you are adding to your portfolio, you will enjoy low risk now, and strong equity gains over time. The location is in one of Euclid's highest rent locations, with strong rental demand and rapidly increasing rents. After renovations, these units will command top market rents and deliver high cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, and flexible exit strategies. Ask for the detailed financial model showing the 5-year ROI. Want to double your income? Purchase the identical property next door: 20249 Lake Shore. Owner occupants and tenants alike can live the lake lifestyle with membership privileges at Arcadia Beach Club. Plus, this home is just minutes from the urban oasis of Euclid Creek Reservation where there is something for everyone year-round with more beaches, parks, nature preserves and scenic overlooks, a marina for boating and fishing, picnic pavilions, and even an historic village.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

• This is a 2 × 3.0-bed/1.5-bath units multifamily listed at $275k.

Deal economics

• At list price, monthly cash flow is $276 ($3k/yr) — positive. Per door: $138/mo.
• The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
• Meets the 1% rule at list price ($3k rent vs $275k).

Location & tenants

• Location reads 77/100 on livability (#204 in OH, #3,149 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, crime B+; Watch: commute F, employment D-.
• Euclid City (suburban): math 14% / reading 28% proficiency, ranked #625 of 656 in OH (top 95%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover; 70% free/reduced lunch — lower-income household profile, screen leases tightly.
• Zoned schools: Arbor Elementary School (math 17% / reading 28%, grade F, #1,239 of 1,584 statewide, top 78%, 370 students, 0% FRL); Euclid Middle School (math 10% / reading 22%, grade F, #624 of 654 statewide, top 96%, 934 students, 0% FRL); Euclid High School (math 7% / reading 33%, grade F, #675 of 781 statewide, top 87%, 1,618 students, 0% FRL) — zoned schools average 0% FRL vs 70% district-wide (70 pts lower); this property's tenant base skews higher-income than the district average.
• Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+5.3%/yr); 96 active listings in the ZIP; 1 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; 1,441 units permitted in Cuyahoga County in 2024 (700 in 5+ unit buildings).
• At $2,840/mo this rent would consume 61% of the median local household income ($56k/yr) (locally 1085% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.

Forward outlook

• Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $2k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $8k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
• Cuyahoga County population projected to shrink 8% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.

Negotiation context

• Only 6 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
• 3 sale attempts since 8y ago with the ask held roughly flat each time — persistent listings suggest the price (not the market) is what's stuck; bring a comps-based counter.

Recommended offer $275,000

Questions for the listing agent

1. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
2. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
3. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
4. The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
5. What's the average days-on-market for RENTAL listings here right now (not sales)? A rising rental-DOM trend means longer vacancies and softer asking-rent achievability than the comps imply.
6. What's the recent tenant-quality profile in this submarket — average credit score on applications, eviction rate, late-payment / NSF rate, and stable-employment percentage? A property-management company in the area should have these aggregated.
7. How much new apartment / multifamily construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply (>2% of stock underway) typically softens rents 12–24 months out; light construction supports rent growth.

For passive investors: Depreciation is non-cash, so a rental often shows a tax loss while cash-flowing — sheltering income. Rental losses are passive: they offset passive income freely, and up to $25,000/yr can offset ordinary (W-2) income if you actively participate and your MAGI is under $100k (phasing out to $0 by $150k); unused losses carry forward. On sale, claimed depreciation is recaptured at up to 25%, and gains may owe capital-gains tax (a 1031 exchange can defer both). Figures are a year-1 estimate at your 24.0% rate — not tax advice; consult a CPA.
