Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1929, this 4-unit property is categorized as a 'light fixer' and 'investor special,' suggesting it is functional but requires cosmetic and minor system updates to meet modern standards. While the listing highlights a newer roof and significant curb appeal, the interior components—including kitchens, bathrooms, and fixtures—retain a vintage character that shows signs of being outdated. It fits the 'fair' criteria as an aged property maintained through regular upkeep but lacking a recent comprehensive renovation.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Prime Historical Location

    Situated in the heart of Leimert Park adjacent to the Plaza, this property boasts immense curb appeal in a highly sought-after, aesthetically pleasing historical neighborhood.

  • Significant Value-Add Potential

    Marketed as an 'investor special' and 'light fixer,' the property offers substantial room to increase equity and rental income through strategic renovations.

  • Exceptional Parking Assets

    The property includes three detached double-car garages providing six total parking spaces, a rare and premium feature for multi-family dwellings in Los Angeles.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Immediate Capital Expenditure

    As a 'light fixer' and 'investor special,' the property requires upfront investment for repairs and modernization to realize its full market value.

  • Low Local School Ratings

    The majority of the assigned public schools for this address have low ratings (2/10), which may deter families and impact long-term appreciation potential.

  • Trust Sale Constraints

    Being a Trust sale, the transaction may involve 'as-is' conditions and limited seller disclosures, requiring a more thorough due diligence process by the buyer.
