Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
The property, built in 1915, is explicitly listed as a 'development opportunity' with Ready-To-Issue (RTI) permits for a new 25-bedroom student housing complex. The listing states 'SOLD AS IS' and emphasizes the buyer's responsibility for due diligence on property conditions, strongly indicating the existing 2-bed, 1-bath structure is not intended for continued use. The image shows an old, worn exterior consistent with a property whose value lies solely in the land and its redevelopment potential, aligning perfectly with the 'tear-down' criteria.
Strategically located just two blocks from the University of Southern California (USC), offering exceptional demand for student housing.
The project has RTI permits for a 25-bedroom, 25-bathroom development, significantly reducing development time and risk for the buyer.
Approved plans for 3 residential units totaling 25 bedrooms and 25 bathrooms across 5 distinct units (8,590 sqft) maximize the property's income-generating capacity.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 25.
The property is sold 'AS IS,' requiring the buyer to conduct all due diligence on property conditions and zoning, which may uncover unforeseen costs or issues.
While permits are in place, the construction of a 25-bedroom facility represents a substantial financial investment beyond the purchase price, which is not detailed.
