Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1956, features 'remodel updated bathrooms and kitchens' and 'original hardwood floors,' indicating significant interior improvements. The exterior appears maintained, and windows seem updated. However, despite these updates, the building's age suggests that major systems (plumbing, electrical, roofing) may be original or nearing the end of their useful life, as noted in the property analysis. While the interior updates are a strong positive, the overall age of the structure and potential for outdated major systems prevent it from being classified as 'Good.' It is well-maintained with recent updates to key areas, but the underlying infrastructure is older, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Triplex: The property is a triplex, offering immediate income potential from three separate units, ideal for investors seeking rental revenue.
Updated Unit Interiors: All units feature remodeled bathrooms and kitchens, along with original hardwood floors, providing modern appeal and durability for tenants.
Ample Tenant Amenities: Each unit includes a dedicated one-car garage, additional driveway parking, and convenient in-unit washer/dryer hookups, enhancing tenant desirability and retention.
Desirable Location: Located in Torrance, a well-regarded Southern California city known for its strong rental market and community amenities, contributing to stable occupancy.
Significant Price Adjustment: The property has undergone substantial price reductions from its original listing, potentially offering a more attractive entry point and value proposition for buyers.
Cons
Multiple Price Reductions: A history of significant price drops from $1.149M to $949K may suggest initial overpricing or potential underlying issues, which could raise buyer scrutiny.
Age of Building: Built in 1956, the property's age indicates that major systems such as plumbing, electrical, or roofing may be original or nearing the end of their useful life, potentially requiring future capital expenditures.
Compact Unit Sizes: With 2268 total square feet divided among three units, individual unit sizes are relatively compact, which might limit the tenant pool or rental income potential compared to properties with larger units.
