More Insights
Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1956, is explicitly marketed as a 'blank canvas for remodel, reconfiguration' and needing 'some TLC,' with the listing analysis noting it 'Requires Extensive Renovation.' The absence of any interior photos, particularly of the kitchen and bathrooms, strongly suggests these areas are in very poor, outdated, and likely non-functional condition, requiring complete overhaul. The converted living room and garage also indicate potential non-conforming issues. This aligns with the 'poor' criteria of requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation, as major components and finishes are likely at the end of their lifespan.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: High School: Compton Early College High (9/10).
Dual Income/Multi-Generational Living Potential: The property features two separate living spaces (4 bed/1 bath front, 2 bed/1 bath rear with full kitchen) under one roof, ideal for rental income or multi-generational families.
Strong Investment Opportunity: Explicitly marketed to investors and savvy buyers, highlighting potential for high-yield returns, substantial value unlock, and long-term cash flow.
Value-Add Potential: Described as a 'blank canvas for remodel, reconfiguration, or ADU development,' offering significant upside for buyers willing to invest in improvements.
Private Rear Unit Access: The rear unit benefits from its own private alley entrance, enhancing its independence and rental appeal.
Accessible Price Point for Los Angeles: A list price of $499,999 offers a relatively affordable entry into the Los Angeles market for an investment property with multiple units and value-add potential.
Cons
Requires Extensive Renovation: The property is presented as a 'blank canvas' needing 'some TLC,' indicating significant capital investment will be required for remodel and upgrades to unlock its full potential.
Non-Conforming Space Conversions: The front unit's living room and garage have been converted into bedrooms, which may lead to functional compromises, potential permitting issues, or a less traditional layout.
Small Lot Size: The 3,134 sq. ft. lot is relatively small, which may limit outdoor living space, privacy, and future expansion beyond the existing structure or ADU.
