13-unit multifamily asset strategically located in the heart of Little River, one of Miami’s fastest-evolving urban neighborhoods. Positioned on a prominent corner lot with frontage along NE 78th Street, the property benefits from strong visibility, walkability, and quick connectivity to the Design District, Wynwood, and Downtown Miami, as well as major transit corridors. Built in 1971, the two-story building totals approximately 7,496 SF of living area on a 13,063 SF lot and is currently operating with stable in-place income. Offered at $2,600,000, the property generates an in- place NOI of approximately $191,000, equating to a 7.35% cap rate, with modest upside through rent growth and operational efficiencies.
