More Insights
Built in 1954 (71 years old).
Condition: Built in 1954, this property is 70 years old. While some units feature newer laminate flooring and modern mini-split AC units, these appear to be superficial or piecemeal updates. One bathroom (Image 5) is significantly dated with visible wear and stains on the walls, indicating deferred maintenance. No kitchen images are provided, strongly suggesting these areas are also outdated and would require substantial renovation. The overall condition points to a need for significant repairs and rehabilitation across the quadruplex to meet current living standards and maximize rental potential.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Quadruplex: The property is a quadruplex, explicitly designed for residential income, offering the flexibility for an owner to live in one unit and rent out the other three, providing multiple revenue streams.
Prime Barstow Location: Situated 'in the heart of Barstow,' behind the San Bernardino Courthouse, and very close to Freeway 15 and Main Street, offering excellent accessibility and convenience for tenants.
Generous Lot Size & Ample Parking: Features a substantial 12,600 sqft lot with a large front area suitable for parking, a significant advantage for a multi-unit property where parking can often be limited.
Investment Potential: The description highlights 'enormous potential,' suggesting opportunities for investors to add value through renovations, upgrades, or optimizing rental income.
City Lights View: The property boasts a 'City Lights' view, adding an aesthetic appeal that can enhance desirability and potentially command higher rental rates or resale value.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1954, the property is 70 years old, which may imply outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and a higher likelihood of deferred maintenance or significant capital expenditures in the near future.
Unspecified Unit Condition: While potential is mentioned, the description lacks details on recent renovations or modern updates to the individual units, suggesting they may be dated and require investment to maximize rental income and tenant appeal.
Mixed Local School Performance: The presence of a nearby middle school with a low rating (1) could be a deterrent for families with school-aged children, potentially limiting the tenant pool or impacting long-term property value.
