Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1963, making it 61 years old. While the front house has been 'recently refreshed with new flooring and paint,' this is a cosmetic update and does not indicate extensive renovation of major systems, kitchens, or bathrooms. The description explicitly mentions the 'ability to reposition rents, add upgrades,' suggesting that significant updates are still needed. The images show a well-maintained exterior for its age, but no interior photos of kitchens or bathrooms are provided, making it highly probable these areas are outdated. The presence of a window AC unit further suggests older systems. The property is functional but requires minor to moderate updates beyond superficial cosmetic work to meet current standards.
This triplex offers immediate rental income and significant long-term growth potential, with month-to-month tenancy providing flexibility for rent repositioning and value-add upgrades.
Situated in a quiet Maywood neighborhood, the property boasts excellent proximity to schools, shopping, public transportation, major freeways (710), and quick access to Downtown L.A. and other key areas.
The property's layout and income-generating potential make it ideal for a broad range of buyers, including investors, large families seeking multi-generational living, or owner-occupants looking to offset mortgage costs.
Built in 1963, the property may have older underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require significant capital expenditures in the future, despite recent cosmetic updates to one unit.
Only the front house is explicitly mentioned as 'refreshed,' suggesting the two 1-bedroom units in the rear building may be in their original condition or require more substantial renovation to maximize rental income and tenant appeal.
While month-to-month leases offer flexibility for rent increases, they also carry the risk of higher tenant turnover, potential challenges with tenant relocation, or resistance during efforts to implement significant upgrades or rent adjustments.
