About this home
Great investment opportunity near Downtown DeKalb and NIU! This 5-room + 1 studio, 3-bath rooming house offers strong rental income potential with the added flexibility of a house hack option-live in the private studio and rent out the remaining rooms. The property has been freshly updated with new flooring, new paint in the bathrooms, and fresh paint throughout the common areas, creating a clean and appealing environment for tenants. Ideal for investors or an owner-occupant looking for affordable living and steady cash flow. Located just minutes from Northern Illinois University, Downtown DeKalb, restaurants, shopping, bus routes, and major roads, including Annie Glidden Rd and Lincoln Hwy. Off-street parking and walkability to local amenities enhance its rental appeal. A fantastic addition to any rental portfolio-or an opportunity to live affordably while generating income.
