Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1954, this property is significantly aged. The images reveal very outdated kitchens and bathrooms with older appliances, cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures, suggesting no major renovations in several decades. While the property appears functional and maintained on the exterior, the interior components, including flooring and light fixtures, are clearly dated and would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. It does not show signs of immediate structural or safety defects that would classify it as 'Poor', but it is far from 'Good' or 'Excellent' due to its age and lack of modern updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Triplex: The property is a triplex, offering multiple rental units and diversified income streams, making it a strong investment opportunity.
Strategic Location: Positioned 'just blocks from the city of Downey' and 'minutes from major freeways, schools and dining,' enhancing tenant appeal and potential for appreciation.
Individual Tenant Amenities: Each unit includes its own garage and front yard, a highly desirable feature that can attract and retain quality tenants.
Operational Efficiency: Separate electric and gas meters for each unit simplify utility management and reduce landlord operating costs.
Established Tenant Base: The presence of 'very cooperative tenants' suggests a stable rental history and potentially smoother transition for a new owner.
Cons
Property Age & Potential Deferred Maintenance: Built in 1954, the property is over 70 years old, likely requiring significant capital expenditures for system upgrades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and general modernization.
Limited Unit Specifics: The description lacks detailed information on individual unit layouts, bedroom/bathroom counts, or specific square footage per unit, making it challenging to fully assess current rental value and potential.
Absence of Financial Performance Data: Critical investment metrics such as current rental income, operating expenses, and cap rate are not provided, hindering a comprehensive financial analysis for potential investors.
