Condition Rating
Good
This property is a duplex with a significant disparity in condition between its two units. The rear unit, built in 2023, is essentially brand new, featuring a modern kitchen with white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, dark countertops, a stylish backsplash, recessed lighting, and contemporary wood-look laminate flooring. This unit would individually qualify as 'Excellent'. However, the front unit was built in 1924, and while its interior condition is not shown, its age and the lack of specific renovation details suggest it is likely older and may require updates. The exterior of the front unit appears dated. Given that a substantial portion of the property is new construction, it significantly elevates the overall condition, making the property largely move-in ready with modern amenities in one unit. However, the presence of the much older unit, whose condition is not confirmed to be extensively renovated, prevents an 'Excellent' rating for the entire property. Therefore, 'Good' is the most appropriate score, reflecting the blend of a brand-new unit and an older, likely well-maintained but not fully modernized, original structure.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income & Owner-User Versatility: As a duplex with one unit delivered vacant, the property offers immediate income potential for investors or an attractive owner-occupancy opportunity with rental offset.
New Construction Unit: The rear unit, built in 2023, provides modern amenities, reduced immediate maintenance concerns, and enhanced rental appeal, significantly boosting the property's overall value.
Strategic Rental Location: Located in a strong rental area with steady tenant demand, close to major employment centers (DTLA, LAX, USC) and attractions (SoFi Stadium), ensuring consistent occupancy and strong rental yields.
Independent Utilities: Separate gas and electric meters for each unit simplify tenant billing and management, making it a more attractive and hassle-free investment for landlords.
Dedicated Parking: Both units benefit from dedicated parking spaces (two for the rear unit, private front parking for the front unit), a highly valued amenity in the Los Angeles market.
Cons
Age of Front Unit: The 1924 construction of the front unit suggests potential for older systems, deferred maintenance, and less modern amenities, which may require future upgrades or higher repair costs to maintain.
Disparity in Unit Modernity: The significant age difference between the 1924 front unit and the 2023 new build could lead to varying tenant expectations, rental pricing, and overall property appeal between the two units.
Limited Outdoor Space: While the lot size is adequate, the property description does not emphasize significant private or shared outdoor living spaces, which can be a desirable feature for tenants in Los Angeles.
