Now offered at $895,000, Walnut St Commons presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a stabilized 9-unit multifamily investment in the heart of Reading, Pennsylvania. Following a strategic price adjustment, the property now delivers one of the most compelling combinations of cash flow, operational efficiency, and value currently available in the market. With strong in-place income, a diversified unit mix, and continued rental upside, Walnut St Commons is well positioned for seasoned investors, portfolio expansion, or a 1031 exchange. The property currently generates approximately $78,529 in Net Operating Income, producing an impressive 8.8% capitalization rate at the new asking price. Through continued rent optimization and natural lease turnover, projected Net Operating Income increases to approximately $87,454, resulting in an outstanding 9.77% pro forma capitalization rate.
