About 4025 54th St
4025 54th St is a rock-solid duplex that makes sense from every angle—whether you're a first-time house hacker or a seasoned investor looking to expand your portfolio. With both units currently vacant, you're free to move in and offset your mortgage with rental income, or lease out both sides at market rent with zero downtime. The property includes an upper 3-bedroom, 1-bath unit and a lower 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit, both with access to a shared laundry setup. A new roof was installed in 2020, and in 2021 the furnace blower was replaced and the ductwork was updated. Even better, the property holds a valid rental certificate through 2027, giving you a worry-free runway for cash flow. Set in a quiet residential pocket of Des Moines, the location offers stable tenant demand and long-term rental potential. Whether you're looking to live in one unit and rent the other or simply lock in a smart buy-and-hold opportunity, this duplex is a clean, straightforward investment play with upside and flexibility.
