Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Excellent
TeardownExcellent

Property is new construction or fully renovated.

The MLS description explicitly states the existing 5-bedroom/3-bathroom front house has been 'completely renovated with modern finishes and updated systems.' The images confirm this, showcasing a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, white countertops, and updated cabinetry. Bathrooms feature contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tiling. The living areas have clean wood-look flooring, fresh white paint, and recessed lighting. Despite the 1903 build year, the extensive and recent renovation (likely around the 2023 sale) brings the property's current condition to an excellent standard, with all visible components appearing new or virtually new and meeting current quality standards.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7440, living area = 1557.

  • Prime Location & Demand

    Strategically located within walking distance to USC, in the desirable DPS Patrol Zone, and close to major amenities (USC Village, Trader Joe's, City Target) and transportation, ensuring constant demand for student housing.

  • Ready-To-Issue (RTI) Permits

    Secured RTI permits for an 11-bedroom/11-bathroom duplex significantly de-risks and accelerates the development process, saving substantial time and cost for investors.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 16, other record bedroom count = 4.

  • Additional Capital & Project Management Required

    Realizing the full projected income and cap rate is contingent on significant additional capital investment for construction and the successful management of the development project.

  • Age of Original Structure

    Despite renovations, the 1903 build year of the existing house may present potential for unforeseen maintenance issues with original underlying infrastructure not covered by the recent updates.
