Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1958, this duplex shows significant age throughout its interior. The kitchen features extremely dated white appliances, worn laminate countertops, and basic painted cabinets, indicating a lack of major renovation for several decades. The bathroom is equally outdated with a very basic sink, mirror, and an exposed bulb light fixture. The presence of a window AC unit suggests no central cooling, highlighting a major system deficiency. While the structure is described as 'solid,' the interior finishes and major systems require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern living standards, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Investment Opportunity: This property is a duplex, explicitly marketed as a 'Residential Income' opportunity, providing two income-generating units for immediate cash flow.
Strategic Location: Located on a no-through traffic street, it offers excellent accessibility, being close to public transportation, major commute routes, SJ airport, and SJSU, enhancing tenant appeal and long-term value.
Value Proposition: The listing highlights it as the 'best priced duplex for the size in San Jose,' suggesting a competitive entry point for investors in the market.
Immediate Income & Tenant Stability: The presence of long-term tenants on month-to-month leases ensures immediate rental income and offers flexibility for the new owner regarding lease terms or potential occupancy.
Solid Construction & Unit Features: Built with a solid stucco building and concrete slab foundation, indicating durability. The townhouse-style units, with one featuring its own backyard, add desirable living features for tenants.
Cons
Property Age & System Updates: Constructed in 1958, the property is over 65 years old, suggesting that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or outdated and could require significant capital investment for upgrades.
Potential for Below-Market Rents: While long-term tenants provide stability, their month-to-month status often implies rents are below current market rates, requiring strategic management to optimize rental income.
Interior Condition & Deferred Maintenance: The description does not mention any recent interior renovations or updates, indicating that the units may be dated and could require cosmetic and functional improvements to maximize rental value or attract new tenants.
