Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property, built in 1960, has had one unit (1638) recently 'refreshed and updated' in mid-2024. The images confirm this with new LVP flooring in the kitchen and bathroom, new carpet in living areas and bedrooms, fresh paint throughout, and a fully modernized bathroom (new vanity, toilet, tub/shower surround, light fixture). The kitchen features new white countertops, painted teal cabinets (older style but freshly painted), and basic but functional white appliances. While the interior finishes are very clean and move-in ready, the overall age of the building (1960) suggests that major systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) may not have been fully replaced, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. However, the extensive recent interior updates make it much better than 'Fair'.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Immediate Cash Flow & Income-Producing
This property is a solid income-producing duplex with both units currently tenant-occupied on month-to-month leases, providing immediate and consistent cash flow for an investor.
- Desirable Tenant Amenities
Each unit offers highly sought-after features such as an attached one-car garage, additional driveway parking, and in-unit laundry hookups, contributing to strong tenant retention and rental demand.
- Reduced Owner Operating Expenses
Both units are separately metered for PG&E, with tenants responsible for their own utility payments, significantly reducing the owner's operating costs.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Potential Unpermitted Unit
The description notes the property 'Shows as Triplex ( duplex + Garage Converted 2 bed 1 bath )' while listed as a duplex, strongly suggesting an unpermitted garage conversion which could pose legal risks and require costly remediation.
- Age of Property & Potential for System Updates
Built in 1960, the property may have original or aging major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that could require significant capital expenditures in the near future, despite one unit being recently refreshed.
- Low-Rated Local Schools
The proximity to schools with generally low ratings (1s and 2s) could be a deterrent for families with school-aged children, potentially limiting the tenant pool or impacting future resale value.
