If you’re looking for a rental investment that starts working for you right away, this one checks a lot of boxes. This parcel includes two income-producing properties just a short walk from Eastern Illinois University , making it an ideal setup for student or long-term rentals.

One building offers a well-kept 3-bedroom, 1-bath unit with a smart, functional layout and a large on-site parking lot —a big plus for tenants. The second is a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home with generous living space that consistently attracts renters.

The location does much of the heavy lifting here. Properties this close to campus remain in high demand, helping support steady occupancy and reliable cash flow. Whether you’re adding to an existing portfolio or purchasing your first rental, this is the kind of investment that holds long-term upside in a proven rental area.
