Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1928 with no mention of recent renovations to kitchens, baths, or major systems. The exterior shows significant age-related wear, and the marketing focus on 'low rents' and 'LAR4 zoning' typically indicates deferred maintenance and a need for a full interior rehab to reach market potential.
Situated just three blocks from the University of Southern California (USC), the property is in a high-demand rental market ideal for student and faculty housing.
The property consists of three separate detached homes rather than shared-wall units, providing tenants with superior privacy and the feel of single-family living.
With LAR4 zoning on a 6,212-square-foot lot, the property offers significant long-term value through high-density redevelopment opportunities in a transit-adjacent area.
Current rents are noted as low, which may result in a lower initial cap rate and require a strategic turnover plan to achieve the projected market rent of $2,400 per unit.
Built in 1928, the structures likely require capital expenditures for modernization and maintenance to address the wear and tear associated with century-old infrastructure.
