**RATE BUY DOWN INCENTIVES AVAILABLE 4.125%** A unique opportunity to own a 4-unit income property in trendy Highland Park, close to Figueroa, and walkable to Highland Park Bowl, HomeState restaurant, Civil Coffee & Mendocino Farms. This property sits on a spacious 5,048 Sqft. lot that is zoned LARD 1.5 with a 42’x120’ dimension. The property consists of: (3) two beds & one bath; (1) one bed & one bath. Two of the 2 bed/1 bath units are approx. 750 sf and another is approx. 700 sf, with the one bedroom being around 600 sf. However, the 1 bed unit’s adjoining a large non-operating laundry room that is perfectly sized for an easy bedroom conversion to a 2 bed 1 bath in order to increase the rent in the future. The shared driveway allows each unit to access its one-car private carport space in the rear of the building, which may have the space for a potential ADU add-on above the four parking spots. This is a great value add-on opportunity for an investor to fix and renovate for a buy and hold or to flip. Additionally, the location offers convenient freeway access and proximity to Downtown LA, Pasadena, and the Metro Gold Line, making it ideal for those seeking the best of urban living in Highland Park. Whether for investment or personal use, this property offers a fantastic opportunity in one of the city's hottest neighborhoods. Unit 3 has been completely renovated and just rented out for $2,345.

Condition Rating
Poor

The property, built in 1955, is a quadruplex where only one of the four units has been completely renovated to a modern standard (as seen in the images with new kitchen, flooring, and lighting). The listing explicitly states it's a 'value add-on opportunity for an investor to fix and renovate' and highlights 'Age of Property & Required Upgrades' and 'substantial capital investment for renovations, system updates, and deferred maintenance across the unrenovated units' as weaknesses. This indicates that the majority of the units require substantial repairs and rehabilitation, aligning with a 'Poor' condition for the property as a whole, despite the excellent condition of one unit.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Accessibility: Situated in trendy Highland Park with high walkability to popular amenities, excellent freeway access, and proximity to major urban centers (DTLA, Pasadena) and public transit (Metro Gold Line).
Strong Value-Add Opportunities: Significant potential to increase income through converting a 1-bedroom unit to a 2-bedroom, adding an ADU above existing carports, and renovating other units.
Income-Producing Quadruplex: A 4-unit residential income property providing immediate cash flow and a diversified investment portfolio.
Favorable Zoning & Lot Potential: LARD 1.5 zoning on a generous 5,048 sqft lot offers flexibility for future development or expansion.
Financial Incentives & Proven Rental: Attractive rate buy-down incentives (4.125%) are available, and one unit is already renovated and rented at a competitive rate, demonstrating market demand.

Cons

Age of Property & Required Upgrades: Built in 1955, the property likely requires substantial capital investment for renovations, system updates, and deferred maintenance across the unrenovated units.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price adjustments from the initial listing suggest potential overpricing or a longer-than-expected market time, which could impact perceived value.
Non-Turnkey Investment: The property is presented as a 'value add-on opportunity to fix and renovate,' indicating it is not a turnkey investment and will demand significant time, effort, and capital from the buyer.
