Rarely available 8-unit multifamily asset positioned in one of Miami Beach's most sought-after corridors. This value-add opportunity offers investors the chance to acquire an income-producing property with significant upside potential. The property features a stable existing tenant base with below-market rents — providing immediate runway to increase NOI upon lease turnover or strategic repositioning.
