Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1971, this fourplex is well-maintained but largely original or features older updates. The kitchens and bathrooms show dated cabinetry, countertops, and appliances consistent with a property requiring 'repositioning.' While functional and habitable, the interior finishes, flooring, and fixtures are aged and require modernization to achieve current market rental rates.

- Significant Rental Upside

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =6098, other record lot size in square feet = 5930.
- Capital Improvement Needs
Built in 1971 and marketed for its 'repositioning' potential, the property likely requires immediate capital expenditure for modern upgrades to realize its full market rent potential.
