Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1959, the property explicitly states it 'needs some TLC' and has 'plenty of room for improvements.' The exterior images show an unkempt appearance, older windows, and a window-mounted AC unit, indicating a lack of central cooling and outdated systems. Without interior photos, it's highly probable that the kitchen and bathrooms are original or very dated, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and comfort.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a duplex, offering two separate units (each 2 bed/1 bath) for immediate rental income, making it an attractive investment opportunity.
Prime Location: Explicitly described as being in a 'prime location' in Santa Ana, suggesting desirability and potential for strong tenant demand.
Established Tenancy: Both units are occupied by long-term tenants, providing stable and immediate rental income for a new owner without the need to find new occupants.
Value-Add Potential: The property 'needs some TLC' and has 'plenty of room for improvements,' presenting a significant opportunity for a buyer to renovate and increase property value and rental income.
Recent Price Adjustment: The list price has been reduced from $949,900 to $850,000, making it a 'well-priced' option and potentially more competitive in the current market.
Cons
Condition Requires Investment: The property explicitly 'needs some TLC' and has 'room for improvements,' indicating that significant capital expenditure will be required post-purchase for renovations and upgrades.
Property Age: Built in 1959, the property is over six decades old, suggesting potential for outdated infrastructure, systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical), and higher ongoing maintenance costs.
Limited Bathroom Count: Each unit features only one bathroom, which may be less appealing to some tenants or families compared to units with multiple bathrooms, potentially impacting rental desirability or future value.
