Condition: The property, built in 1961, has undergone significant recent renovations since 2019, including a new roof (2 years ago), soft story retrofit, updated common areas, and new water heaters.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Recent Renovations & Upgrades: Over $566,000 has been invested in recent interior and exterior renovations, including a new roof, plumbing in renovated units, and common area improvements, significantly reducing immediate capital expenditure for a new owner.
Completed Soft-Story Retrofit: A major and costly structural upgrade ($280,000) has already been completed, mitigating a significant risk and expense common for older multi-family properties in Los Angeles.
Significant Rent Upside Potential: With approximately 38% rent upside and only 38% of units fully renovated, there is a clear value-add opportunity to increase income and achieve projected double-digit cash-on-cash returns by upgrading remaining units.
Favorable Assumable Financing: The property offers an assumable loan at a fixed 5.90% interest-only rate until February 2028, providing attractive leverage and potentially below-market financing compared to current market rates.
Desirable Amenities & Unit Features: The building boasts a well-landscaped courtyard, fenced pool, secured parking (25 spaces), large laundry room, and spacious units with ample natural light, enhancing tenant appeal and retention.

Cons

Partial Unit Renovation Status: While 38% of units are renovated, the majority (62%) still require upgrades to achieve market rents, necessitating additional capital investment and potential vacancy periods during renovation.
Loan Reset Risk: The assumable loan's interest-only period concludes in February 2028, at which point the loan resets. This introduces uncertainty regarding future interest rates and potential increases in debt service payments.
Age of Property: Built in 1961, the property is over 60 years old. Despite recent significant renovations, older buildings can still incur higher ongoing maintenance costs and may require further system updates beyond what has already been completed.
