Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property has received recent exterior capital improvements including new windows, paint, and an asphalt driveway. However, the 1959-built duplex lacks interior photos, and the listing explicitly mentions a 42% rent upside potential upon renovating the interiors, indicating that kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring are likely outdated. The presence of construction debris and unkempt yards further supports a 'fair' condition rating, as the property requires interior modernization to meet current market standards.
The property offers a significant 42% rent upside and the potential to convert the existing garages into a third unit (ADU), providing a clear path to increased equity and cash flow.
Extensive recent upgrades including new exterior paint, windows, hot water heaters, and a new asphalt driveway reduce immediate maintenance needs and enhance curb appeal.
Each oversized two-bedroom unit includes a private yard and an attached garage, features that are highly sought after by tenants and support premium rental rates.
While the exterior has been updated, the interiors likely require modernization to achieve the projected market rents, necessitating additional upfront capital investment.
The local public schools serving the area have relatively low ratings (ranging from 2 to 4), which may limit the property's appeal to long-term family tenants.
