Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1953, this property is an older structure that has received notable updates. Key improvements include modern mini-split HVAC systems, newer windows, and consistent tile flooring throughout. The kitchen has been cosmetically refreshed with painted cabinets, new butcher block countertops, and a mosaic backsplash, making it functional, though major appliances are not visible. The bathroom, however, appears dated in style and fixtures. While well-maintained and livable, the property's age and some outdated components prevent it from reaching a 'Good' rating, aligning it with the 'Fair' category where an aged home is maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong Investment Potential: Explicitly marketed as a great investment opportunity, ideal for portfolio expansion and income generation.
Dual Income Property: As a duplex, it provides two separate rental incomes, enhancing cash flow and investment returns.
Established Tenant Base: One unit has a long-term, reliable tenant (8 years, on-time payments), ensuring stable income for half the property.
Reduced Owner Expenses: Separate gas and electric meters for each unit mean tenants cover these significant utility costs, improving net operating income.
ADU Conversion Potential: The possibility of converting the garage into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) offers future value appreciation and increased rental income, subject to city approval.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1953, the property is over 70 years old, which may lead to higher maintenance costs or require updates to older systems despite some recent upgrades.
Restricted Access for Viewing: Only the back unit can be shown, and the front tenant is not to be disturbed, limiting a full assessment of the entire property's condition and potential issues.
Ongoing Owner Utility Costs: The owner is responsible for water and trash utilities, which are recurring expenses that impact the overall profitability and net operating income.
