Cons

Older Construction: Built in 1962, despite recent cosmetic and system upgrades, the underlying structure and some original components may be older, potentially leading to unforeseen maintenance needs in the future.
Limited Interior Space and Single Bathroom: With 996 square feet and only one bathroom for two bedrooms, the home offers limited living space and bathroom facilities, which might be a constraint for some buyers or guests.
Geographic Location: While conveniently located within Hemet, the city's overall market dynamics and appreciation rates may not be as robust as other Southern California regions, potentially impacting long-term investment growth for some buyers.
