Despite being built in 1937, one of the duplex units was fully remodeled in 2022, including plumbing, electrical, roof, stucco, insulation, and central air. The images confirm this with a modern kitchen featuring new two-tone cabinets, white countertops, a contemporary black faucet, and new appliances. The bathroom is also fully updated with a modern vanity, new tiling, and fixtures. Flooring throughout the unit appears new, and the exterior stucco looks fresh. The other unit was also remodeled within the last 10 years, indicating a high overall quality and move-in ready condition for both units, meeting current quality standards with minimal physical depreciation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a duplex, explicitly designed for residential income, offering two separate rental units for immediate cash flow potential.
Extensive Recent Renovation (Unit 1): One unit underwent a full remodel in 2022, including critical updates to plumbing, electrical, roof, stucco, insulation, and the addition of central air, significantly reducing immediate capital expenditure.
Updated Second Unit: The second unit was also remodeled by a prior owner within the last 10 years, indicating a general commitment to property maintenance and modernization across both units.
Central Air Conditioning: At least one unit benefits from central air conditioning, a crucial amenity for tenant comfort and appeal in the warm climate of Blythe.
Generous Lot Size: The property sits on a substantial 10,019 sqft lot, offering ample outdoor space, potential for future expansion, or additional amenities (subject to zoning).
Cons
Advanced Age of Structure: Built in 1937, the property's underlying structure and un-renovated components may present unforeseen maintenance challenges or require significant investment in the future.
Inconsistent Modernization: While one unit is fully updated, the other's renovation is older and less detailed, potentially leading to disparities in tenant appeal, rent pricing, or ongoing maintenance needs between the two units.
Limited Market Appeal (Blythe): Located in Blythe, a smaller and more remote market, the property may face challenges in tenant acquisition, rental rate growth, or long-term appreciation compared to properties in larger metropolitan areas.
