More Insights
Built in 1963 (62 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1963, making it over 60 years old. While the description states it is 'well-maintained,' the lack of interior images prevents a detailed assessment of kitchens, bathrooms, and other internal features. The listing explicitly mentions a 'value-add opportunity through modernization,' which strongly suggests that the interiors are outdated and require significant updates to meet current market standards and maximize rental income. The exterior appears maintained but reflects its age. Visible window AC units in some units also hint at older or less efficient cooling systems. Therefore, the property is functional but aged and in need of substantial cosmetic and possibly system updates, aligning with a 'Fair' condition score.

Cons
Building Age & Potential Modernization Costs: Constructed in 1963, the property, while well-maintained, likely requires significant capital investment for modernization and potential system upgrades to fully realize its rental upside.
Implied Capital Expenditure for Upside: The 'value-add opportunity' explicitly mentioned indicates that achieving the 'significant upside potential in rents' will necessitate immediate capital outlay for renovations and upgrades.
Recent Price Adjustments: Multiple price reductions from the original listing price (from $2.09M to $1.89M) may suggest an initial overvaluation or a slower market response, potentially impacting investor confidence or indicating a need for further negotiation.
