Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

This 1925 duplex features a split condition: the upstairs unit is fully remodeled with new flooring, cabinetry, and appliances, while the downstairs unit is described as a 'fixer' requiring a full remodel. While the renovated portion meets high standards, the substantial rehabilitation needed for the lower unit and the age of the structure result in an overall fair rating.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Prime Central Location

    Situated in the highly desirable University Heights and Mission Hills area, the property offers exceptional walkability to the Vermont Street Pedestrian Bridge, local dining, and major medical centers.

  • Immediate Rental Upside

    Delivered vacant, this duplex allows a buyer to immediately establish market-rate rents and select their own tenants without the complications of existing lease agreements.

  • Rare Parking and Views

    The property features a rare combination of an attached garage plus a long driveway for four cars, complemented by scenic canyon views and private outdoor deck spaces.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Significant Renovation Needed

    The downstairs unit is a 'fixer' requiring a full remodel, which will necessitate immediate additional capital investment and construction oversight before it can be occupied.

  • Compact Living Space

    With a total of only 864 square feet split between two units, the individual apartments are quite small, which may limit the tenant pool to individuals or couples seeking a minimalist lifestyle.
