Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating Property: As a duplex with a 4-bedroom/1-bath unit and a 1-bedroom/1-bath unit, this property offers immediate rental income potential, appealing to investors or owner-occupants seeking supplemental income.
Competitive Price Point: Listed at $350,000, this property presents an attractive and relatively affordable entry point for an income-producing asset in the Bakersfield market.
Generous Lot Size: The substantial 9,287 sq ft lot provides ample outdoor space, potential for future expansion, or additional amenities, enhancing the property's value and appeal.
No Association Fees: The absence of HOA or association fees significantly reduces the ongoing operational costs for the owner, maximizing potential net income from the rental units.
Proximity to Schools: The property is conveniently located near several schools, including highly-rated Bakersfield High (4/10) and Roosevelt Elementary (4/10), making it desirable for families with children.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =9287, other record lot size in square feet = 9147.
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1946, the property is nearly 80 years old, suggesting a high likelihood of outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and potential for significant repair or renovation costs to meet modern standards.
Challenging Unit Layout (4 Bed/1 Bath): The primary unit's configuration of 4 bedrooms with only one bathroom can be a significant drawback for larger families or multiple tenants, potentially limiting its rental appeal or requiring costly bathroom additions.
Lack of Detailed Condition Information: The brief description 'Nice Duplex' provides minimal insight into the current condition, recent upgrades, or maintenance history, which could imply hidden issues or a need for substantial investment post-purchase.
