What's around 137 Elm Street

About this property

PROPERTY IS A SHELL. NEEDS COMPLETE REHAB **Welcome to Reading, PA** * INVESTOR SPECIAL * We are delighted to introduce you to Reading P.A, a welcoming and family-oriented neighborhood where many residents have lived for over 15 to 20 years. We would like to highlight a recent real estate opportunity in the area. The property located at 240 N 2nd St, Reading, PA 19601, was successfully sold for $265,000. My colleague served as both the general contractor and realtor for this home. Initially purchased in 2021 for $80,000, it underwent significant renovations that increased its appraised value to $250,000. After being listed on the market, it attracted multiple bids and ultimately sold for $258,000. Currently, this property is available for purchase at the same price of $80,000 just a few doors away. This home requires a conversion to a multi-family unit—a process that is relatively straightforward for an investor who is motivated and can envision the potential of the property. We advise prospective buyers to take caution when viewing the property due to some unsafe spaces; it is recommended to bring a flashlight and watch your step. This presents a fantastic investment opportunity for section 8 buyers, air Bnb purchasers or straight rental units, so please do not hesitate to reach out for more information.
