311 69th, $94k, 2 bed, 2 bath, 1408 sf, 5000 sf lot, built 1965, 0.7 mile to metro, Low Crime

818 Kayak, $78k, 3 bed, 2 bath, 1384 sf, 8000 sf lot, built 1937, 1 mile to metro, Med Crime

Zillow says both rent for $1700/month. Let's say they take $20k to make rentable. Both have room for a driveway or expand with a detached garage, but not big enough to subdivide. Crime is from Trulia.
