3Br 2 Bath townhouse we purchased for long term rental. 90s/2000s builder grade inside nothing special but was ready to rent with a little paint. Wasn't the best purchase as I didn't know numbers as well then and just went off realtors opinion mostly. It does cash flow and has appreciated 40k in the time we have owned it so not horrible.
