Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1900, this fourplex shows a mix of conditions. The description notes 'partial updates' in the standalone cottage, including newer flooring, fresh paint, and modern fixtures, which is reflected in its living area. However, the main building's kitchen (Image 9) features older appliances, basic white cabinets, and fluorescent lighting, indicating it is significantly outdated. The bathrooms (Images 5 and 7) are functional but basic, with older fixtures and finishes. While the property is described as 'well-maintained' and some units are 'move-in ready,' the overall impression from the images, particularly the kitchens and bathrooms in the main units, suggests that major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating Quadruplex: This property is a fourplex, offering multiple income streams and strong cash flow potential for investors or a hybrid live-and-earn opportunity.
Prime Location & Walkability: Situated in Central Alameda, the property boasts a very walkable location with convenient access to Park Street's shops, restaurants, and public transportation.
Owner-Occupant Appeal: Features a rare standalone, move-in ready 2-bedroom/1-bathroom cottage with partial updates, ideal for an owner-occupant seeking to live on-site while generating income.
Established Rental Income: Three additional units are currently occupied by good-standing tenants, providing immediate and stable rental income upon acquisition.

Cons

Significant Price Reduction: The property has undergone a substantial price reduction from its original list price ($1.198M to $998K), which may suggest it was initially overpriced or has faced market challenges.
Age of Property: Built in 1900, the property is over a century old, potentially indicating higher ongoing maintenance costs or the need for future capital expenditures on systems and infrastructure.
Partial Updates: While the cottage has 'partial updates,' the extent of renovations in the other three units is not fully detailed, implying potential for varying conditions and future upgrade costs to maximize rental value.
