Key pros and cons

More Insights
Built in 1947 (78 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1947, features a front unit that has been 'completely remodeled inside and out with modern finishes,' as evidenced by the new wood-look laminate flooring, white shaker-style kitchen cabinets, and a contemporary bathroom with marble-look tile. This unit is move-in ready and presents an excellent interior condition. However, the overall property is an older build, and while the front unit is extensively updated, the condition of the second, tenant-occupied unit is not detailed and likely not as modern, given the low rent. The visible wall heater in the living area also suggests a lack of central HVAC. Therefore, while the remodeled unit is of excellent quality, the property as a whole, considering its age and partial renovation, falls into the 'Good' category, indicating a well-maintained property with significant recent updates to a key portion.

About this home
Two detached single story bungalows on one lot, front unit delivered VACANT at close of escrow. Tenants pay ALL UTILITIES including water, trash, gas, and electricity. This income producing property offers approximately 2,156 square feet of living space across two spacious two bedroom one bath units each with its own charm. The front unit at 1,055 square feet has been completely remodeled inside and out with modern finishes, fresh paint, and a clean move in ready feel. This makes it ideal for an owner user who wants to live in one unit while earning rental income from the other. The rear unit at 1,101 square feet is tenant occupied at $859 per month providing immediate stable cash flow. Built in 1947, both homes sit on approximately a 6,200 square foot lot with private drive access and parking for 10 or more cars. With the benefit of ZERO landlord utility expenses and the upside of remodeling already completed in the front unit, this property is a strong option for both investors and owner occupants

Pros & Cons
Pros
Dual Income Potential & Flexibility: Two detached units provide immediate rental income from one unit and the flexibility for owner-occupancy or market-rate rental of the vacant, remodeled front unit.
Minimized Operating Costs: Tenants are responsible for all utilities (water, trash, gas, electricity), resulting in zero landlord utility expenses.
Turnkey Front Unit: The front unit is fully remodeled, move-in ready, and delivered vacant, offering immediate value and appeal to owner-users or new tenants.
Exceptional Parking Capacity: Private drive access with parking for 10+ vehicles is a significant and rare amenity in the Los Angeles market.
Established Lot Size: A 6,200 sq ft lot provides ample space, offering potential for future expansion or enhanced outdoor living.
Cons
Sub-Market Rear Unit Rent: The existing rent of $859/month for the rear unit is considerably below market value for Los Angeles, potentially indicating rent control restrictions or a limited immediate upside in rental income for that unit.
Property Age & Potential Maintenance: Built in 1947, the property's age may lead to ongoing maintenance requirements for older systems and structures, despite the front unit's recent remodel.
Mixed School Performance: While some schools are highly rated, several nearby public schools have lower performance ratings, which could be a consideration for families with school-aged children.
