This West Oakland Duplex represents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $599,000, positioned accurately relative to its $594,197 Fair Market Value. Marketed as a heavy-lift asset with a Condition Rating of 5, the property offers substantial Value-Add upside through a full renovation and ADU potential on a flat lot.

Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1890, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'heavy-lift' fixer requiring a full renovation. The exterior shows significant signs of neglect, including missing or boarded-up windows and weathered siding, indicating that all major systems, the kitchen, and bathrooms likely require complete replacement to meet modern safety and habitability standards.
This duplex offers significant upside for developers and BRRRR strategists, featuring ADU potential and a workable footprint in a rapidly appreciating West Oakland corridor.
Ideally situated near West Oakland BART, Downtown, and major transit routes, the property benefits from high demand driven by its proximity to key employment hubs.
With 2,570 square feet of living space on a flat 4,440 square foot lot, the property provides a generous canvas for a high-yield residential income repositioning.
As a 'heavy-lift' fixer-upper requiring a full renovation, the property demands significant capital investment and construction expertise to realize its value.
The assigned public schools have low ratings ranging from 2 to 4, which may limit the property's appeal to family-oriented tenants or future buyers.
1418 8th Street is a true West Oakland fixer with the kind of upside you don’t wait on. The property needs full renovation, making it ideal for contractors, developers, BRRRR strategists, and value-add buyers looking for a high-yield project in a rapidly appreciating corridor. The lot is flat, the footprint is workable, and the location is surrounded by new construction, renovated homes, and ongoing infill development — all strong indicators for future equity growth. With ADU potential, rental upside, and proximity to West Oakland BART, Downtown, and major transit routes, this address checks every box for a profitable reposition. Bring your crew, your scope, and your numbers — this is a heavy-lift project with heavy-return potential. Opportunities like this don’t sit.
