From the listing

Welcome home to this charming and versatile property in Lakeland, offering a rare opportunity to own a move-in ready main home with the added benefit of a separate income-producing unit right on the same property. The main home is a fully updated 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence featuring a beautifully renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms, vinyl plank flooring throughout, and fresh interior and exterior paint. Central air and a dedicated laundry area make this home completely turnkey. A spacious covered carport and generous yard complete the picture. At the rear of the property sits a fully separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom studio unit, currently occupied by a long-term tenant paying $750 per month. Whether you choose to continue renting it out to offset your mortgage, use it as a private guest suite, or house a family member, this bonus space adds flexibility that most homes at this price point simply cannot offer. At $239,000, the rental income from the back unit alone covers a significant portion of your monthly payment, making this one of the most affordable paths to homeownership in Lakeland for a buyer who wants to live well and build equity at the same time.
