More Insights

Built in 1945 (81 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1945, indicating significant age. While the listing states one studio unit was 'beautifully renovated in November 2024,' the provided images of a kitchen and bathroom (likely from one of the other units, or a very basic renovation) show dated features. The kitchen includes tiled countertops, older white appliances, and basic tile flooring. The bathroom is functional but very basic with older-style tiling. These areas appear clean and maintained but are outdated and would require substantial updates to meet current aesthetic and quality standards. The property is aged but maintained, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Multi-Unit Income Potential: As a triplex, the property offers multiple income streams, making it an attractive 'Investor's Dream' for strong cash flow and long-term growth.
Strategic Rental Location: Located in a high-demand rental area near schools, shopping, and major conveniences, ensuring steady tenant attraction and excellent return potential.
Recent Unit Renovation: Unit C (Studio) was beautifully renovated in November 2024, which can command higher rents and reduces immediate capital expenditure for that unit.
Turnkey Investment: The property is described as a 'turnkey investment,' suggesting it is ready for immediate operation and income generation without significant initial work.
Neighborhood Growth Potential: Situated in an 'up-and-coming neighborhood' in East Bakersfield, indicating potential for future property value appreciation.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =3403, other record lot size in square feet = 3484. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Advanced Property Age: Built in 1945, the property is nearly 80 years old, which may lead to higher maintenance costs and potential infrastructure issues in the unrenovated units.
Compact Unit Sizes & Small Lot: The total living area of 1001 sqft for a triplex (3 beds, 3 baths) implies very small individual units, and the 3403 sqft lot is relatively small, potentially limiting tenant appeal or future expansion.
Undisclosed Rental Details: The listing requires contacting the agent for current rental details, which can be a drawback for investors needing immediate transparency on cash flow and ROI.
