Built in income - zero guesswork. One side has a massage table. The other has a couch. Two sides, one owner (who occupies both) looking to become your long term tenant. This fully updated Merritt duplex comes with something most investment properties can't offer — owners who want to work with the right investor to stay. They're signing a minimum two-year leaseback, and they come in two flavours: a registered massage therapy business running out of one unit, and a quiet, tidy residence in the other. Professional on one side, personal on the other. The kind of setup that makes a property manager sleep well at night. Each side comes equipped with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, and it's own laundry room with separate furnace, hot water tank, and utilities. The backyard is fully fenced and xeriscaped, which means it looks clean year-round and nobody's calling you about lawn care. Bonus: if you're by chance a registered massage therapist that isn't quite ready to relocate - you could have a built in business waiting for you? This one's as close to a set-it-and-forget-it investment as you're going to find in this market. Reach out to the listing agent Jared Thomas for more information.
