More Insights

Built in 1988 (38 years old).
Condition: Built in 1988, this multi-unit property is 36 years old. While described as 'well-maintained' and 'thoughtfully laid out to maximize functionality and tenant appeal' for its long-term tenants, the age of the structures and the noted 'potential for deferred updates' suggest that kitchens, bathrooms, and other interior finishes are likely functional but dated in style. The exterior images show well-kept but not modern buildings. The property is livable and maintained, but would benefit from minor cosmetic updates to bring it to current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

An additional detached single-family residence spans 1,250 sq. ft. with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms plus Den, providing flexible rental or owner-user options. Completing the property is a duplex, comprised of two 864 sq. ft. units. The lower unit features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, while the upper unit offers 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Each unit has been thoughtfully laid out to maximize functionality and tenant appeal. The property boasts long-term tenants, delivering immediate cash flow with a current cap rate of 4.8% and a pro forma cap rate of 6.5%, presenting a clear value-add opportunity.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 4678, other record living area = 1698.
Age of Structures: Built in 1988, the property's age may imply older systems or components that could require future capital expenditures for maintenance or upgrades.
Management Complexity: Managing three distinct residential structures with varying unit types and tenant needs can be more involved than a single-unit or standard duplex property.
Potential for Deferred Updates: While described as 'well-maintained,' the absence of specific recent renovation details suggests an investor might need to budget for updates to maximize rental income or tenant appeal in a competitive market.
