Proceed with caution

Decent numbers, serious flags.

  1. 3023 Dupont Ave N · Hawthorne Upper rent not disclosed, so income can't be verified
  2. 1622 Girard Ave N · Near - North Description gives no rents, lease status or expenses, so income can't be verified.
  3. 2226 Girard Ave N · Jordan No actual rents given.
  4. 3605 S 3rd Ave · Central One rented unit is nonconforming; it may be an illegal unit and could be forced out of use or need costly egress work
  5. 825 18th Ave NE · Logan Park No rents, lease terms or occupancy are given, so income is unproven.
