Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1922, this multi-unit property shows significant age. While the description mentions 'updates have been performed,' and one unit features newer laminate flooring, white cabinets, and new black appliances, the overall condition is inconsistent and largely outdated. The bathrooms in particular are very dated with old vanities, basic fixtures, and older tile, suggesting they haven't been renovated in 30-50+ years. Other units show older hardwood floors and worn carpets. The property is functional and appears maintained enough for tenants, but requires substantial cosmetic rehabilitation and likely major system updates to meet modern standards and appeal. It is not unsafe or structurally unsound, but the extensive outdatedness across multiple units, especially in key areas like kitchens and bathrooms, places it in the 'poor' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Investment Opportunity: This 4-Plex is explicitly marketed as a 'Nice opportunity for investors,' indicating its primary value as an income-generating asset.
Stable Tenant Base: The presence of 'exceptional long term tenants with good history' suggests a reliable and consistent income stream with reduced vacancy risk.
Professional Management: The property has been 'professionally managed for several years,' which can streamline operations and reduce the immediate workload for a new owner.
Bonus Income Unit: A 'Bonus Studio renting at $809/mo' adds an additional revenue stream, enhancing the property's overall cash flow and investment appeal.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Its proximity to 'shops, restaurants, Public Transportation & BART' makes it highly attractive to tenants, ensuring continued demand and potential for rent stability.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1922, the property is over 100 years old, which may imply higher maintenance costs, outdated systems (plumbing, electrical), and potential for lead paint or asbestos issues.
Potential Rent Control Impact: Located in Oakland with long-term tenants, it is highly probable that the property is subject to rent control regulations, which could significantly limit future rent increases and overall investment returns.
Vague Update Information: While 'updates have been performed,' the lack of specific details makes it difficult to assess the extent and quality of these improvements, potentially masking deferred maintenance or significant future capital expenditures.
