Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1912, this 112-year-old duplex is a short sale showing significant deferred maintenance. Interior images reveal dirty walls, scuffed doors, and debris, indicating a lack of recent upkeep. While some laminate flooring is present, the age of the structure and visible neglect suggest the need for a major rehab of systems and finishes.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Dual-Unit Income Potential
The property features two separate three-bedroom units, providing a high rental yield potential or an ideal house-hacking opportunity for owner-occupants.
- High Bedroom Count
Both units offer three bedrooms, which is a significant advantage in the rental market, appealing to larger families and maximizing monthly cash flow.
- Generous Lot Size
The 6,037 square foot lot offers ample space for parking or potential future improvements, a valuable asset in a dense Los Angeles neighborhood.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Short Sale Complexity
The property is a short sale subject to lender approval, which typically involves a prolonged closing timeline and higher transaction uncertainty.
- Vintage Structure Maintenance
Built in 1912, the property likely requires significant updates to its core systems and may have deferred maintenance issues common in century-old buildings.
