Near Northeast geography
Near Northeast sits northeast of downtown South Bend — bounded by Lincoln Way, Ironwood Drive, and Mishawaka adjacency. The corridor differs from West Side:
- Double-heavy inventory — side-by-side and up-down configurations
- Beacon Health and Memorial Hospital employment — LTR tenant pool
- Less campus walkability premium — more stable 12-month leases
- Mishawaka spillover — comp discipline on ZIP 46617 sales only
Renters include hospital staff, Ivy Tech faculty, and families priced below Granger owner-occupant markets.

Near Northeast BRRRR sequencing
Double-heavy blocks on Sample Street and Eddy Street corridors follow a repeatable stack:
- Acquire at $92K–$122K on South Bend hard money — 7–10 day close when title is clean.
- Separate utilities and upgrade electrical before marketing either side — shared-meter doubles fail DSCR when only one unit is lease-ready.
- Lease both sides at $1,100–$1,350/mo with 12-month terms; hospital employment anchors support 7%–8% vacancy vs. campus blocks.
- Appraise at $175K–$195K using 46617 comps only — Mishawaka sales do not support Near Northeast ARV.
- Refi via DSCR Indiana at 70%–75% LTV targeting 1.15–1.25 ratio.
Hard money term should cover 5–7 months when mechanical scope includes knob-and-tube and boiler separation on pre-1920 doubles.
