Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1963, this duplex is described as having 'vintage infrastructure' and is occupied by long-term tenants, suggesting the interiors are likely dated. Exterior images show functional but aged components, including window AC units and older security doors. While the property appears well-maintained for its age, it lacks the modern updates required for a 'good' rating and would benefit from cosmetic and system renovations to reach its full market potential.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Dual-Unit Configuration
The property features two detached, single-story homes (3BR/2BA and 2BR/1BA) on a single lot, providing excellent flexibility for investors or multi-generational living.
- Significant Rental Upside
With current rents 27% below market value, this property offers a substantial opportunity for a new owner to increase cash flow and realize immediate equity growth.
- Separate Utility Metering
Individual gas and electric meters for each unit simplify property management and reduce owner-paid utility expenses.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Tenant-Occupied Limitations
The presence of long-term tenants at significantly below-market rates may present challenges in immediate revenue optimization and potential renovation timelines.
- Vintage Infrastructure
Built in 1963, the property may require capital improvements or updates to major systems to maintain competitiveness and meet modern efficiency standards.
- High Lot Density
Accommodating two separate residences and a three-car garage on a 5,956 sqft lot may result in limited private outdoor space or a higher density feel for residents.
