Condition Rating
Fair

The property, originally built in 1943 with an effective year of 1975, underwent significant renovations around 2006 (18 years ago), including a new roof, laminated wood flooring, double-pane windows, and gas pipe installation. The main kitchen was more recently remodeled about 6 years ago with modern black cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, which is a strong positive. The living areas also feature updated laminate flooring and recessed lighting. However, the bathrooms are notably dated in style, and at least one shows clear signs of deferred maintenance with peeling paint, indicating a need for minor updates or repairs. While functional, the overall condition reflects a home that is aged but has received occasional updates, fitting the 'Fair' category's description of requiring minor updates and having major components that are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Income Potential & Multi-Generational Living: The property is currently configured for multiple living units (main house, 2-bedroom unit, permitted garage conversion), offering significant rental income potential (approx. $4000/month) or ideal multi-generational living, with separate entrances for privacy. Seller is also willing to assist with JADU/ADU permits.
Extensive Recent Renovations & Updates: A substantial portion of the home (1114 sqft) was completed and renovated with permits in 2006 or after, including a replaced roof, laminated wood flooring, new gas pipes, and double-pane windows. The main kitchen was also remodeled 6 years ago with new granite countertops and cabinets.
Highly Flexible Floor Plan: The property offers remarkable versatility, easily convertible back to a large 5-bedroom, 3-bath single-family home or reconfigured into two distinct 2-bedroom units, catering to diverse buyer needs and future adaptations.
Strategic & Convenient Location: Located in North El Monte within a gated community, providing a quiet and safe environment. It boasts excellent accessibility to major freeways (I-10 and I-605) and is conveniently close to schools, shopping centers, and Asian supermarkets.
Attractive Seller Incentives & Flexibility: The seller offers favorable terms, including no city pre-sale inspections required, willingness to provide FHA loan credit, and potential seller carry-back financing, making the purchase more accessible and appealing to a wider range of buyers.

Cons

Complex Permitting Status for Multi-Unit Use: While some additions are permitted, the current multi-unit configuration, particularly the 2-bedroom unit, may have ambiguous permitting status for separate rental units, requiring the seller's promised assistance for ADU/JADU permits to fully legalize all income-generating spaces, which could introduce complexities or delays.
Age of Original Structure: The original single house was built in 1943. Despite significant renovations, the underlying older structure may present potential long-term maintenance considerations or unforeseen issues not covered by recent updates, compared to newer constructions.
Non-Standard Layout & Potential for Buyer Confusion: The property's current multi-unit setup and the detailed options for conversion, while flexible, create a non-traditional layout that might not appeal to all buyers seeking a straightforward, conventional single-family home, potentially narrowing the buyer pool.
