Located prominently on Main Street in the heart of Leon, this three-story, 24-unit apartment building presents a rare value-add opportunity in a supply-constrained small-town market. The property features a strong unit mix of 3 studios, 15 one-bedroom/one-bath units, 5 two-bedroom/one-bath units, and 1 three-bedroom unit, supporting broad rental demand and long-term stability. With both in-place income and operational flexibility, a new owner has the ability to thoughtfully renovate, reposition, and increase rents through strategic improvements.

Additional features include four garages for added income potential and shared on-site laundry. Multifamily assets of this scale rarely become available in smaller Midwest markets, making this a compelling opportunity for investors seeking cash flow, growth, and long-term appreciation.
