Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and has undergone significant capital improvements, including a full seismic upgrade, foundation replacement, and a new roof installed in 2025. While the building dates to 1907, the interior has been remodeled to support a high-occupancy master lease structure, and the fire-life-safety systems are updated. It is well-maintained with no immediate major repairs required, though the high bedroom-to-bathroom ratio reflects a specific functional utility rather than a modern luxury renovation.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
- Passive Investment Structure
The property operates under a master lease where the tenant handles all utilities and management, providing a streamlined, low-effort ownership experience with predictable monthly income.
- Extensive Capital Upgrades
Significant structural and safety improvements have been completed, including a full seismic upgrade, foundation replacement, updated fire-life-safety systems, and a new roof installed in 2025.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Low Bathroom-to-Bedroom Ratio
With 12 bedrooms but only 3 bathrooms, the property has a significant functional imbalance that may limit its appeal to traditional tenants if the master lease structure ever changes.
- Master Tenant Concentration Risk
The current income model is entirely dependent on a single master tenant; any default or vacancy by this entity would require the owner to pivot to a much more intensive management style.
About 1651-1655 Oak Street
Well-maintained three-unit property featuring expansive flats totaling approximately 5,941 SqFt, currently operated under a master lease structure providing stable income with minimal owner management responsibilities. The property is leased in its entirety to a master tenant who rents individual rooms on a per-room basis while paying the owner a fixed monthly rent.
