Montrose, California 91020
Analysis of 2520 Montrose Avenue, Montrose, California 91020 is currently available with a list price of $2,595,000. 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 Montrose 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.
Built in 1947, this property is nearly 80 years old and is explicitly marketed as a 'value-add' opportunity with a gutted basement and units requiring upgrades to reach market rents. The presence of window AC units and master metering indicates outdated systems, and the need to legalize non-conforming spaces suggests significant rehab is required, fitting the >30-year age and rehab criteria.
The property features a rare 3.64% assumable loan through November 2028, allowing a buyer to secure low-cost capital and achieve significant positive cash flow from day one.
With LCR3 zoning and a large 10,303 sq ft lot, there is massive upside through the conversion of existing spaces into up to 3 ADUs and the potential for future high-density development.
Located blocks from Honolulu Avenue shops and within the top-rated Glendale Unified School District, the property is situated in a high-demand area with historically low vacancy rates.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =10303, other record lot size in square feet = 10224. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 5502, other record living area = 5100.
The property is master metered, which increases owner operating expenses and limits the ability to pass utility costs directly to tenants, impacting net operating income.
With only 8 parking spaces for 11 existing units, the property has a parking-to-unit ratio of less than 1:1, which may complicate leasing and future ADU expansions.
