About 249 N 17th St
Awesome high end rental house that has been approved for Section 8. Unfortunately, current tenant had to drop down to 2br, so the rent rate is $750, but it is month to month, tenant can be removed rapidly and property can be rented high end as a 3br, 2ba already approved for Sect 8, or, you could also buy it as a great home just for you instead of a high end rental :)
