Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1934, the property shows signs of regular upkeep but has not undergone significant modern renovations. The kitchens feature dated tile countertops, older appliances, and basic cabinetry. Bathrooms also present with dated fixtures, basic vanities, and older tile work. While functional and appearing clean, these areas require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current buyer expectations. The property likely has older infrastructure (plumbing, electrical) given its age, and lacks modern amenities like central air conditioning, suggesting potential for future capital expenditures beyond cosmetic updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: McKinley Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Central Location: The property boasts a prime central San Diego location, offering excellent walkability and immediate access to El Cajon Blvd, transit, groceries, cafés, and local restaurants, enhancing tenant appeal and convenience.
Significant Income Potential: Comprising three legal units (a duplex with 2bd/1ba and a studio, plus a detached 1bd/1ba home) and strong rental demand in the corridor, this property presents a robust opportunity for consistent rental income and long-term value appreciation for investors.
Multi-Unit Configuration: The property's configuration as a triplex (three legal units) plus an additional studio maximizes rental capacity and diversifies income streams, making it highly attractive to investors.
Valuable Off-Street Parking & Security: Abundant off-street parking and a gated entry provide significant convenience and enhanced security for occupants, which are highly desirable features in an urban setting.
City Lights View: The property offers desirable city lights views, adding an aesthetic appeal and potentially increasing its market value and tenant desirability.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2306, other record living area = 1687. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Unpermitted Unit Risk: The inclusion of an 'additional non-permitted studio' poses a significant legal and financial risk, potentially requiring costly legalization or removal, and could complicate financing or future resale.
Age of Property: Built in 1934, the property is over 80 years old, suggesting potential for outdated infrastructure, systems (plumbing, electrical), and higher ongoing maintenance costs compared to newer constructions.
Potential for Deferred Maintenance/Updates: While layouts are functional, the description does not specify recent major renovations or system upgrades, implying that a property of this age may require significant capital expenditure for modernization or deferred maintenance to maximize rental value and tenant satisfaction.
