Condition Rating
Poor

Built in 1955, this property is 69 years old. The listing provides no interior photos, especially of the kitchen and bathrooms, and explicitly states 'Drive by only. Do not disturb tenants. Submit offer contingent upon interior inspection.' This strongly suggests the interior is not in a presentable condition. While the description mentions 'tile flooring throughout' and 'vanities,' these are generic and do not indicate recent, significant renovations. The visible window AC units on the ADU also point to outdated cooling systems. Given the age and lack of evidence of recent updates, the kitchens and bathrooms are highly likely to be very dated, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet current standards. The property is functional enough to be rented, but it requires significant investment to modernize.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Significant Rental Income: The property generates a substantial $4620 monthly income from two existing rental units (main house and ADU), providing immediate cash flow and strong investment potential.
Expansive & Usable Land: Comprises three flat, usable lots totaling 30,000 sq ft, offering rare and versatile space for various personal or agricultural endeavors.
Versatile Animal Zoning: Zoned as an 'amazing horse property' allowing up to 5 horses and other livestock, catering to a niche market seeking rural living amenities within a city setting.
Multiple Dwellings & ADU: Features a main house, a separate Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), and a detached 2-car garage, providing flexible living arrangements, multi-generational housing, or additional income streams.
Low Operating Costs: Benefits from no HOA or Mello Roos fees, and tenants cover water, trash, and electricity, resulting in significantly lower monthly ownership expenses for the investor.

Cons

Restricted Buyer Access: The 'drive by only' and 'do not disturb tenants' clauses severely limit buyer access for showings and pre-offer inspections, creating uncertainty and potential hurdles for interested parties.
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1955, the property's age suggests potential for deferred maintenance or the need for significant updates and renovations to meet modern aesthetic and functional standards, especially in the main house.
Contingent Inspection Requirement: Offers are contingent upon interior inspection, which can deter buyers seeking a straightforward transaction and implies potential unknown issues that may arise during a full inspection.
