Los Angeles, California 90057
Analysis of 244 S La Fayette Park Place 205, Los Angeles, California 90057 is currently available with a list price of $552,000. The property maintains a Poor Condition Rating (30/100), indicating the property requires renovation and updates to maximize its market potential. This presents opportunities for value-add investors. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the Los Angeles Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for Experienced Investors and Fix-and-Flip Specialists.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property is 54 years old (built 1972) with no evidence of renovation. The 'as-is' sale condition, 'sight-unseen' restriction, and 'cash or hard money only' requirement are professional indicators of significant deferred maintenance and the likely need for a full interior rehab of kitchens, bathrooms, and systems.
Situated in Rampart Village just west of Downtown Los Angeles, the property offers excellent proximity to Lafayette Park, diverse dining options, and convenient access to the U.S. Route 101.
The 30-day 'First Look' program provides a significant competitive edge for buyers intending to use the home as a primary residence by restricting investor bids during the initial marketing period.
With nearly 950 square feet and a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration, the unit offers a desirable and versatile floor plan that is highly sought after in the local rental and resale market.
The property is sold sight-unseen and fully occupied with no interior access, posing substantial risks regarding the unit's physical condition and potential post-closing occupant issues.
The sale is limited to cash or hard money only and sold in 'as-is' condition, which excludes traditional mortgage buyers and requires significant liquid capital up front.
This property is now under auction terms. All Bids must be submitted during the auction period via the property's listing page. Auction starts Tuesday 6/2 and ends Tuesday 6/9. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo is nestled within a charming 15-unit, three-story building in the vibrant Rampart Village neighborhood.
