Property is extensive renovation needed.
Originally built in 1930, the property is nearly 100 years old and shows significant signs of age. While some cosmetic updates like laminate flooring are present, the systems are dated (visible wall heaters), and the kitchen/bath facilities are basic and cramped. The presence of a manufactured home and RV space on a dirt lot, combined with the listing's heavy emphasis on 'new construction potential' and 'ADU potential,' indicates the existing structures are nearing the end of their functional life and require a full rehab or redevelopment.
The RM-1-1 zoning on a generous 8,276 sqft lot allows for significant density, offering the potential to build multiple units or ADUs to maximize return on investment.
The property features existing rental income from a manufactured home and RV space, providing immediate cash flow for investors or offsetting mortgage costs for owner-occupants.
Located minutes from the San Ysidro Port of Entry and major transit, the property is positioned in a high-demand area for housing with strong long-term appreciation prospects.
Originally built in 1930, the primary residence may require substantial capital expenditures for modernizing systems and structural repairs to meet current standards.
The presence of unverified improvements and potential unpermitted structures necessitates thorough due diligence and may complicate traditional financing options.
