Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1938, this property is 86 years old. The 'drive-by only' instruction and lack of interior photos, coupled with the mention of 'below market rents,' strongly suggest that the interiors, including kitchens and bathrooms, are significantly outdated and likely require substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The exterior also shows signs of age and deferred maintenance. Major systems are likely at or beyond their expected lifespan.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Dual Income Property: The property features two separate houses on one lot, providing excellent potential for rental income or an owner-occupant to offset mortgage costs.
Value-Add Opportunity: Current rents are below market rates, presenting a clear opportunity for a new owner to increase rental income and boost cash flow.
Flexible Tenancy: Both tenants are on month-to-month leases, offering the new owner immediate flexibility to adjust rents, occupy a unit, or implement property improvements.
Separate Utilities: Each home has its own private gas and electric meters, simplifying utility management and tenant billing.
Broad Financing Options: The property welcomes FHA and zero-down programs, potentially expanding the pool of eligible buyers and making financing more accessible.
Cons
Limited Due Diligence: The 'drive-by only' and 'do not disturb tenants' restrictions severely limit a buyer's ability to inspect the interior condition of the units, posing a significant risk.
Age of Property: Built in 1938, the property may have older systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and potential for deferred maintenance, which could require substantial capital expenditure.
Potential for Tenant Turnover: While month-to-month leases offer flexibility, increasing rents to market value could lead to tenant turnover, resulting in vacancy periods and re-leasing costs.
