Built in 1963, this property is over 60 years old. While the description mentions 'upgraded interiors' and 'upgraded windows,' the visible kitchen features (dated fluorescent lighting, older refrigerator, and linoleum flooring) suggest that these updates are not recent or comprehensive. The kitchen appears functional and clean, but its style and some components are clearly outdated. The property seems well-maintained overall, but requires minor cosmetic updates to align with current market expectations, particularly in the kitchen and likely bathrooms (not shown).
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Silicon Valley Location: Strategically located in the heart of Silicon Valley, offering unparalleled access to major employment hubs, transportation, and national retailers.
Significant Undervaluation: Priced significantly below recent comparable sales on a per square foot basis ($573 vs. $692) and 25% below current replacement cost, indicating strong immediate equity potential.
Desirable Unit Mix & Size: Features large, townhouse-style units (avg. 1265 sqft) with a desirable mix of 3-bed/2-bath and 4-bed/2-bath configurations, appealing to a broad tenant base.
Upgraded Condition & Curb Appeal: Benefits from upgraded interiors, central AC, forced air heating, new windows, mature landscaping, and excellent curb appeal, minimizing immediate capital expenditures.
Favorable Market & Regulations: Located in Santa Clara, which lacks local rent control (governed by AB 1482 allowing 5%+CPI increases), coupled with limited new supply and surging rental demand.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1963, the property's age, despite recent upgrades, may imply potential for older infrastructure components or higher long-term maintenance considerations.
Rent Increase Limitations: While not subject to local rent control, AB 1482 caps annual rent increases at 5% plus CPI, which could limit aggressive rent growth strategies.
Extended Market Time & Price Reduction: The property has experienced a price reduction from its original list price and has been on the market for an extended period, potentially indicating market resistance or perceived value concerns.
