More Insights

Built in 1984 (42 years old).
Condition: Built in 1984, this property is 40 years old. While it benefits from recent functional updates like a new roof, a new AC and bathtub in Unit 1, and new stove and dishwasher in Unit 2, the overall aesthetic of the kitchens and bathrooms across the units appears dated. The kitchens feature older white cabinets, laminate countertops, and basic appliances (where not recently replaced), complemented by terracotta-style tile flooring. Bathrooms show basic vanities and fiberglass tub/shower combos. The mixed flooring (older tile and newer laminate) and basic light fixtures throughout indicate a property that is well-maintained and functional but has not undergone a full, extensive renovation within the last 15 years. It requires minor updates to modernize the interior styles and features.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Diversified Income Stream: As a quadplex with four 2-bed/1-bath units, the property offers a diversified rental income stream, mitigating vacancy risk and providing stable cash flow potential for investors.
Significant Capital Improvements Completed: The recent installation of a new roof across the entire structure represents a major capital expenditure already handled, reducing immediate maintenance burdens and long-term costs for the new owner.
Strategic & Convenient Location: Its location in Barstow near major commuter routes, shopping, and local services enhances tenant appeal, contributing to higher occupancy rates and easier tenant placement.
Recent Unit-Specific Upgrades: Specific improvements like a new AC and bathtub in Unit 1, and a new stove and dishwasher in Unit 2, make these units more attractive and potentially ready for market-rate rents without immediate additional investment.
Strong Local Rental Demand: The property benefits from 'consistent demand for multi-unit housing in the area,' indicating a robust rental market and a favorable environment for investors seeking stable tenancy.

Cons

Partial Modernization: While some units have received updates, the description notes that 'The remaining units are maintained and functional,' suggesting they may not be fully modernized, which could limit overall rent growth without further investment.
Age of Property & Potential for Deferred Maintenance: Built in 1984, the property is 40 years old. Despite a new roof, other major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, windows) may be original or older, potentially requiring future capital expenditures.
Limited Unit-Specific Details: The property description highlights upgrades in only two of the four units, leaving some ambiguity regarding the exact condition and market readiness of the remaining two units, which may require further assessment.
