More Insights
Built in 1910 (116 years old).
Condition: Built in 1910, this property is over a century old with no indication of recent major renovations. The complete lack of interior images and the strict 'DRIVE BY ONLY! PLEASE DO NOT WALK THE PROPERTY, DO NOT DISTURB TENANTS' instruction strongly suggest that the interior is in very poor condition, likely requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation. Without access, it's impossible to assess the kitchen, bathrooms, or other systems, but the age and restricted access point to significant deferred maintenance and outdated components.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Duplex Configuration & Income Potential: The property is a duplex, offering two separate units (2 bed/1 bath and 1 bed/1 bath), providing immediate rental income potential or an opportunity for owner-occupancy with supplemental income.
Central Location: Situated in the 'heart of the City of Taft,' it offers convenient access to shopping centers, restaurants, and local businesses, enhancing its desirability for tenants.
Expansion & Development Potential: A 'large backyard' provides a valuable opportunity for future expansion, additions, or potential development, increasing the property's long-term value.
Favorable Price Point: Listed at $199,000, this duplex presents an attractive entry-level investment opportunity in the Taft market.
No Association Fees: The absence of association fees reduces ongoing ownership costs, making it a more financially appealing investment.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =3171, other record lot size in square feet = 3049. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1105, other record living area = 1154.
Historic Property Age: Built in 1910, the property is over a century old, suggesting potential for significant deferred maintenance, outdated systems, and the need for substantial renovation or upgrades.
Restricted Property Access: The 'DRIVE BY ONLY! PLEASE DO NOT WALK THE PROPERTY, DO NOT DISTURB TENANTS' restriction severely limits buyer due diligence, making it challenging to assess the property's true condition and potentially deterring serious buyers.
Compact Unit Sizes: With a total of 1105 sqft for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom duplex, the individual units are likely quite compact, which might limit tenant appeal or rental rates compared to larger units.
