Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1964, this property is 60 years old and shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The kitchen is severely outdated with a 1970s/80s checkerboard backsplash, old cabinets, and an old stove, indicating it hasn't been significantly renovated in 30-50+ years. While one bathroom appears to have had a partial, budget-friendly update, other areas, like the vacant room shown, are in a neglected state, requiring substantial rehabilitation. The overall condition suggests the property is functional but very uncomfortable and requires major investment to bring it to modern living standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Multi-Unit Income Generation: The property is explicitly an 'income producing property' currently generating two incomes, providing immediate cash flow for an investor.
Significant Upside Potential: There is clear potential to add a third income-producing unit from the vacant second floor of the front building, which includes its own entrance, offering substantial future revenue growth.
Strategic Location: Located just miles away from Downtown Los Angeles, this property benefits from a desirable urban location with strong rental demand and potential for appreciation.
Flexible Unit Layout: The front unit's configuration, with 3 bedrooms downstairs and 2 upstairs, and the second floor's past use as a separate unit with its own entrance, offers versatile rental strategies.
Residential Income Property Type: As a Duplex (Residential Income type), it is inherently designed for investment, appealing to buyers seeking passive income and portfolio diversification.
Cons
Property Age and Potential for Outdated Systems: Built in 1964, the property is 60 years old, suggesting that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and finishes may be original or outdated, potentially requiring significant capital expenditures for upgrades.
Required Investment for Third Unit Realization: While offering potential for a third unit, this income stream is not yet realized and will require additional investment, permits, and renovation work from the buyer, adding to the initial cost and effort.
Lack of Specific Condition Details: The description focuses on income potential but provides no details on the current condition of the units, finishes, or recent renovations, implying that cosmetic or functional improvements may be necessary to maximize rental value and tenant appeal.
