1338 Irving Street NW

According to Rentometer, the average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment on the 1300 block of Irving Street in Columbia Heights is about $2,300. So, in theory, the buyer of this installment of Deal of the Week could pay off a good chunk of their monthly mortgage if they rented out one of the listing’s two units.

1338 Irving Street NW consists of two separate two-bedroom, two-level units. The upstairs two-bedroom appears to be more attractive, but both have two bathrooms and small decks, and the property comes with two parking spaces.

Even with pretty steep monthly property tax payments, if the eventual buyer puts 20 percent down and can rent out one of the units for $2,300 a month, it will cover well over 50 percent of the monthly mortgage.
