Oklahoma City, just east of Lake Hefner, good area with good schools.Duplex, 3 bed 2.5 bath 1400sqft each side$275,000, traditional financing, 20% down, paying around 4.375%, maybe a little better, finalizing the loan today.Comes with long term renters paying $1100 and $1150, but this appears to be below market and hasn’t been raised in years.
