About this home
1219 E EMMA STREET
Turnkey, fully furnished, cash-flowing investment property in the heart of Seminole Heights with a proven 3-year track record of full occupancy as a PadSplit (rent-by-the-room) rental, professionally managed by PadSplit for hassle-free tenant placement — a true plug-and-play opportunity for investors seeking predictable, stable income. This 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow-style home features a detached ADU/in-law suite with its own private entrance, fully remodeled in 2023 (new paint, flooring, kitchen, bathroom, AC, laundry, and appliances).

Plumbing lines running from the main house to the ADU at the alley were also recently replaced. Currently generating $4,600+ in gross monthly income (4 main-house rooms at $800/month plus the ADU at $1,400/month), with estimated monthly expenses around $500 for water, electric, lawn, wifi, and monthly deep cleaning, and an optional 8% PadSplit management fee if you prefer to self-manage.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
