EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Legend RVA is a 1916 Northside quadplex rebuilt down to the studs, delivered with a 2023 Certificate of Occupancy and all work permitted and approved by the City of Richmond. Located two blocks from Battery Park, it offers a stabilized, low-maintenance alternative to the aging small multifamily stock that dominates Richmond.
The building operates as a hybrid: two furnished mid-term (30+ night) units and two annual leases. Either furnished unit can be delivered vacant at closing, giving three paths:
Passive Long-Term Hold: all four units on annual leases at $1,550–$1,600/mo for a 6.30% cap rate.
Furnished Mid-Term: all four units at $2,250–$2,500/mo for a 7.14%–8.23% cap rate.
House Hack: occupy a furnished unit with Fannie Mae 5% down owner-occupant financing while three units offset most of the debt service.
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Studs-up reconstruction (2023 CO): all-new PEX/copper supply plumbing, new dedicated main sewer lateral, all-new electrical with 150A panels, foundation structural repairs, new Andersen 100 Series Fibrex windows.
Separately metered electric: tenants pay heat, cooling, and power on long-term leases.
Off-street parking: dedicated rear lot configured for four small-to-midsize vehicles.
Proven mid-term rates: $2,025–$2,325/mo achieved, a $650–$950/mo premium over unfurnished comps.
Low operating costs: ~$375/mo per furnished unit; T-12 repairs of $2,500.
Low tax base: 2026 assessment of $266,000 keeps holding taxes at ~$3,192/yr.
Proven occupancy: only one month of cumulative vacancy across long-term units in the trailing 12 months.
Optional turnkey package available by separate bill of sale.
