  • remarks11: This property is in a trust. There is information about the way the trust would like offers submitted, and how the escrow will go. Two units need work, cosmetic fixer. Tenants has lived there for around a decade with the exception of one. Have had some open conversation about a buy out of the property to vacate, but would not go further into detail upon what that number or timeline looks like. Please review the disclosures, as there are specific instructions that the fiduciaries in charge of the trust would like potential buyers to be aware of. This property is to be sold as is with tenants in place. 3 of the units are renting below market rate, one unit is paying at the market rate.
