And sitting right in the middle of that opportunity is this 2-unit property in Marion.

◾️Current rent: $1,200/month
◾️Conservative market rent potential: ~$1,650/month

◾️Both units currently occupied
◾️Recent rental inspection passed
◾️Several major repairs completed + new sewer line being installed

You’re not paying for someone else to completely renovate it and capture all the upside.

There’s still room here.

Keep the existing income coming in. Make improvements over time. Bring rents closer to market as appropriate. Build value.

Whether this would be rental #1 or rental #10, the question isn’t whether it’s perfect today.

The question is: 👉what could you make it tomorrow?👈

Offered at $154,900 at 535 8th Ave, Marion, IA.

Had the best afternoon spending time with family and friends at the Just for the Health of It 2026 fundraiser!

For the last 3 years, Eastern Iowa Health Centers located in Cedar Rapids, have put on this amazing event to raise funds to help their patients with their copay’s.

EIHC is a Federally Qualified Health Center providing care to our community regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. This event helps supplement those funds so individuals and families can get the care that the need.

Love supporting this program and spending time with friends and family!

I’m just going to pull up a chair here and chat with you for a minute. Well 42 seconds but who’s counting. 🤪

A few weeks back I made an announcement that something fun and exciting was coming soon. Well…you know that old saying “life happens” and sometimes the best laid out plans need adjusted.

Life has a way of throwing road blocks at you without warning. BUT there’s a reason for everything!

And I believe this road block was meant to give me more time to prepare!

Think community, social interaction, learning, creativity, guest speakers and so much more.

I can’t wait to share the full deets with you and the timing of the first event.

I love making new friends and building relationships and this will be just that. Not just for me…but for all of you. 😊😊

Stay tuned! More to come soon….
