This week’s lineup includes a 3-unit foreclosure priced 45% below stabilized comps — with an unfinished basement ready to become a fourth income stream.

Also on deck: a mid-rehab duplex picked up for half its former list price — cleanup done, value-add work halfway home, and 15% yield potential once stabilized.

Then a sub-$50K multi-unit trading 77% below last year’s value — a pure sweat-equity play with six-figure ARV upside.

And finally, a 4-unit cash-flow deal where each tenant pays their own utilities — priced like a used car and projecting a 36% gross yield.

$170,000 | 8 beds | 3 baths | 3-unit Multi-Family | Built 1903 | 2,900 sqft lot

🏚️ Judicial Foreclosure in North Lawndale with Rare 3-Unit Configuration

Three full units (3-bed, 3-bed, 2-bed) with large living rooms, formal dining areas, and full kitchens in each.

Basement is unfinished but has potential to convert into a fourth unit or duplex the first floor for an oversized owner’s suite.

Property needs full renovation but offers strong upside in one of Chicago’s fastest-gentrifying submarkets.

💡 Pro Tip:

  • Similar renovated 3-flats in North Lawndale trade $350K–$425K+

  • Basement conversion could add 800–900 sqft & boost rent roll 40 %+

  • Brick construction reduces exterior rehab costs

  • Located minutes from Ogden Ave & I-290 = strong renter demand
