Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1958, this duplex is significantly aged. While the description indicates 'consistent occupancy' and 'income producing,' suggesting it's functional, the interior images reveal outdated features such as wall unit ACs, radiant wall heaters, and brown carpeting. The absence of kitchen and bathroom images, combined with the overall dated aesthetic, implies these areas are also likely original or minimally updated decades ago. The property appears maintained but requires substantial cosmetic and system updates to modernize and maximize its 'upside potential' as an investment.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Producing Duplex: The property is explicitly marketed as an 'income producing property' with 'consistent occupancy' and 'upside potential for future rents,' offering a clear path to revenue generation for investors or owner-occupants.
Individual Utility Metering: Each unit benefits from its own gas meter and mailing address, and the description states individual water meters, which simplifies tenant billing and management, reducing landlord utility overhead.
Strategic Location: Its prime location near schools, a revitalized downtown 29 Palms (with new amenities), Luckie Park, Joshua Tree National Park, and the 29 Palms Marine base enhances rental demand and potential for appreciation.
Seller Concessions Offered: The seller is offering attractive concessions (2% credit for investors, 5% for owner-occupants) for closing costs, significantly lowering the initial financial barrier for potential buyers.
Clear Investment Opportunity: Positioned as a 'savvy investment opportunity' and 'priced to sell,' the property is presented as a high-potential asset for growth in a developing area.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1958, the property is over 60 years old. While described as 'classic,' this often implies older systems, finishes, and potential for deferred maintenance or the need for significant capital expenditure to modernize and maximize rental income.
Non-Central HVAC System: The units are equipped with 'wall unit AC's and radiant wall heaters,' which are generally less efficient and less desirable than central heating and air conditioning, potentially impacting tenant comfort and utility costs in the desert climate.
Conflicting Water Meter Information: The description contains contradictory statements regarding water meters ('Each one has it's own water meter' followed by 'Both units share a water meter'), creating ambiguity that could lead to management complexities or disputes over shared utility costs.
