Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1963, this property shows signs of age consistent with the 'fair' category. While the exterior and grounds appear maintained through regular upkeep, the presence of window AC units, cracked concrete walkways, and older stucco indicates a lack of recent major renovations. The listing's mention of long-term tenants and 'significant upside potential' strongly suggests that the kitchens and bathrooms are outdated and have not been modernized in several decades.
The property features two detached homes (a 3-bed/2-bath and a 2-bed/1-bath) on a single lot, providing an ideal setup for owner-users or multi-generational living.
With current rents approximately 27% below market value, investors have a clear opportunity to increase cash flow and property value through lease adjustments.
Rare features for this market include a detached three-car garage, private patios, and separate utility meters, which significantly enhance tenant retention and desirability.
Having been on the market for over 130 days with a recent price reduction, the property may face perception challenges regarding its initial valuation or underlying condition.
The presence of long-term tenants at below-market rates may complicate immediate renovations or owner-occupancy plans depending on local housing regulations.
