More Insights
Built in 1923 (102 years old).
Condition: Built in 1923, this property is over 100 years old with no indication of major renovations in the past 50 years. The exterior images reveal significant signs of neglect, including peeling paint, old windows, and overgrown landscaping, suggesting extensive deferred maintenance. The listing description emphasizes 'Outstanding Development Opportunity' and 'LAM2 (Light Industrial)' zoning, implying the value is primarily in the land for redevelopment rather than the existing structures. Without interior photos, the visible exterior condition and age strongly suggest the structures are likely beyond economical repair to meet modern living standards and are considered unlivable in their current state, making demolition the most probable path for future development.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Income & Multi-Unit Potential: The property is sold with an adjacent duplex, offering a total of three units (one 2-bedroom house and two 1-bedroom units) on separate parcels, providing substantial rental income or owner-user flexibility.
Outstanding Development Opportunity: A combined lot size of 8,484 sqft with LAM2 (Light Industrial) zoning and potential for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) presents significant development and value-add opportunities.
Strategic & Accessible Location: Situated just southeast of Downtown Los Angeles, with close proximity to major employment hubs (Arts District, Fashion District, Vernon industrial complexes) and amenities (Citadel Outlets, hospitals, colleges).
Desirable Owner-User Potential: The property is explicitly marketed for its 'Desirable Owner-User Potential,' appealing to buyers looking to live in one unit while generating income from others.
Residential Financing Eligibility: The property 'May Qualify for Residential Financing,' broadening the pool of potential buyers and making acquisition more accessible compared to properties requiring commercial loans.
Cons
Overpriced Relative to Estimated Value: The current list price of $550,000 for this specific property is 14% higher than its estimated value of $471,458.77, suggesting it may be overvalued compared to market analytics.
Advanced Age & Potential for Deferred Maintenance: Built in 1923, the property is over 100 years old, which often implies the need for significant updates to systems, structure, and aesthetics, potentially incurring high renovation costs.
Industrial Zoning Implications (LAM2): While offering development potential, the LAM2 (Light Industrial) zoning could mean proximity to industrial activities, noise, or environmental factors that might be less desirable for purely residential living, and could impose specific development restrictions.
