Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1907, this duplex shows a significant disparity in condition between units. While some areas have been partially updated with newer laminate flooring and bathroom vanities, the kitchen remains outdated with older cabinetry and tile countertops. The property shows visible wear and tear, particularly in the front unit's flooring and wall surfaces, but remains functional and occupied.
The property is legally zoned R-3, offering significant long-term value and the potential for increased density or future redevelopment in a high-demand Los Angeles submarket.
The rear 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit generates a robust $2,500 in monthly rent, providing immediate cash flow and a solid anchor for the property's investment performance.
With over 2,000 square feet of living space and a laundry area positioned for easy conversion into a shared amenity, the floor plan is highly functional for multi-unit management.
The front unit's rental income of $274 is significantly below market value, indicating a likely long-term protected tenancy that limits immediate ROI and total portfolio yield.
Built in 1907, the property's age may necessitate substantial capital expenditures for structural, electrical, or plumbing updates to ensure modern safety and efficiency standards.
The front unit is a 2-bedroom, 1-bath with laundry and generates $274 in rental income. The back unit is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit renting for $2,500. The laundry is situated between the two units. There is access to the laundry on the side of the property of the driveway, which would make a great shared laundry area for both units by closing off access from the kitchen. The zoning is legally R-3; the back unit was once a 1-bedroom, 1-bath each.
