Income properties this close to downtown Madison rarely pencil this well.

Currently rented at $4,295/month with projected rents up to $4,750/month, there’s immediate upside for the next owner. The property has been well maintained with mostly vinyl windows, 2 parking spaces plus a moped spot, and very little yard maintenance. Tenants cover all expenses, making this an attractive low-maintenance investment opportunity with strong returns. Also available as part of the 120–126 N Franklin portfolio, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a side-by-side 27-bedroom investment property with significant long-term upside and future redevelopment potential.
