The asset is positioned for operational improvements and unit turnover renovations as necessary, providing a clear path to increased cash flow. With exposure to a submarket positioned for above-average growth relative to other East of the River neighborhoods, the property presents a compelling long-term investment opportunity. The Asset 1907 18th Street SE is a 16-unit multifamily building totaling approximately 10,692 gross square feet and situated on an RA-2 zoned, 5,227 square foot lot.
