This 1985 construction boasts near-market rents and four newly constructed ADU’s, making it a great acquisition opportunity for an investor looking for a newer constructed asset with attractive in-place cash flow. Furthermore, an in-place RUBS program significantly reduces owner expenses. 12914 Doty Avenue features a mix of three studios, 14 one-bed/one-bath units, one two-bed/one-bath unit, and four two-bed/one-bath ADU’s. The property also offers controlled access, on-site laundry, and ample parking. The property is well-located in Hawthorne, a majority-renter market, one block from Kornblum Elementary School and Hawthorne Memorial Park, conveniently near major employers such as SpaceX and the Hawthorne Airport, and proximate to freeways.

Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1985, making it 39 years old. While the listing mentions 'four newly constructed ADU’s,' the provided interior images for the main units (kitchens and bathrooms) show significantly dated styles and materials, including light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, white appliances, and linoleum/vinyl flooring. These elements suggest that the majority of the units have not undergone major renovations in 20-30+ years. The property appears well-maintained and functional, but the aesthetics are outdated and would require minor updates to meet current market expectations. The exterior is clean, and solar panels are a positive update, but the core interior components of the older units place it in the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Enhanced Income with New ADUs: Four newly constructed ADUs significantly boost rental income potential and overall property value, offering immediate upside for investors.
Optimized Cash Flow & Expense Control: Features attractive in-place cash flow with near-market rents, complemented by an in-place RUBS program that effectively reduces owner operating expenses.
Strategic Location & Tenant Demand: Positioned in a robust renter's market in Hawthorne, offering excellent proximity to major employers (SpaceX, Hawthorne Airport), key transportation routes, and local amenities.
Modern Construction & Diverse Unit Mix: Built in 1985, providing a more contemporary foundation than many comparable investment properties, and offering a varied unit mix (studios, 1-bed, 2-bed, ADUs) to attract a broad tenant demographic.
Tenant-Centric Amenities: Includes controlled access, convenient on-site laundry facilities, and ample parking, which are highly desirable features for renters and contribute to tenant satisfaction and retention.
Cons
History of Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original listing, suggesting potential overpricing or market resistance at higher valuations.
Aging Main Building Infrastructure: While the ADUs are new, the primary 1985 construction means core building systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) are nearing 40 years old, potentially necessitating future capital expenditures for maintenance or upgrades.
Competitive Rental Market: Located in a 'majority-renter market,' which, despite strong demand, implies a competitive landscape for tenant acquisition and retention, potentially impacting vacancy rates or rental growth.
