More Insights

Built in 1965 (60 years old).
Condition: Built in 1965, the property's interiors, including kitchens and bathrooms, show signs of renovations that are approximately 15-30 years old. Kitchens feature dated light wood cabinetry, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and fluorescent lighting. Bathrooms have older vanities, strip lighting, and 80s/90s style tile. Flooring is a mix of worn carpet and dated tile. While the property appears to be maintained and functional, it requires minor to moderate updates to modernize the aesthetics and bring components up to current standards. The 'seller upgrades' mentioned are not extensive enough to qualify for a 'Good' rating, as the overall style and features are significantly outdated.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Multi-Unit Income Potential: As a triplex with three 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom units, this property offers significant income-generating potential for investors or owner-occupiers.
Significant Rental Upside: Current 'soft' in-place rents (22.32 GRM) indicate a strong opportunity to increase income by adjusting to market rates (potentially 13.39 GRM or higher).
Individualized Tenant Amenities: Each unit features private outdoor space, dedicated garage parking, separate electric and gas meters, and access to on-site laundry with private storage, enhancing tenant appeal and simplifying management.
Prime Montebello Location: Centrally located in Montebello, offering excellent access to freeways, shopping, and dining, which is highly attractive to prospective tenants.
Spacious Unit Layouts: The units boast generous room dimensions, including large kitchens and master bedrooms, with Unit A featuring a fireplace, providing comfortable and desirable living spaces.

Cons

Property Age & Potential Capital Expenditures: Built in 1965, the property's age suggests potential for deferred maintenance or the need for significant capital investment in system upgrades (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to modernize and ensure long-term reliability.
Sub-Optimal Current Cash Flow: The 'soft in-place rents' result in a high current GRM, indicating that immediate cash flow may be lower than desired until rents are successfully adjusted to market rates, requiring an active management strategy.
Unequal Parking Distribution: The uneven allocation of garage parking (Unit B having only one space compared to two for Units A and C) could lead to tenant dissatisfaction or make Unit B less appealing to tenants with multiple vehicles.
