Property is extensive renovation needed.
This 1906-built duplex is in poor condition, characterized by significant deferred maintenance and outdated systems. The interior features aged hardwood, peeling paint, and obsolete kitchens and bathrooms that likely haven't been updated in over 30 years. Furthermore, the front unit suffers from functional obsolescence with a 4-bedroom to 1-bathroom ratio, and the property is explicitly marketed as a 'value-add' investment requiring substantial rehabilitation.
The duplex configuration, featuring a substantial 4-bedroom front unit and a separate rear unit, provides excellent flexibility for owner-users seeking mortgage offsets or investors targeting multiple rental streams.
Located in a high-demand Mid-Los Angeles rental market near Koreatown and major freeways, the property is well-positioned for consistent occupancy and long-term capital appreciation.
With a generous 2,860 square feet of living space on a 6,000+ square foot lot, there is ample room to build equity and increase market rents through modern renovations and cosmetic upgrades.
The front unit's 4-bedroom to 1-bathroom ratio represents a significant functional obsolescence that may deter some modern tenants and limit the maximum achievable rental income.
Built in 1906, the property likely requires substantial capital investment to update aging systems such as plumbing, electrical, and roofing to meet current building standards.
Great duplex investment opportunity in the heart of Los Angeles. Property features a front unit with 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and a rear unit with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Ideal for investors or owner-users seeking rental income. Centrally located near schools, shopping, dining, and major freeways. Excellent opportunity to add value in a strong rental market.
