Built in 1962 (64 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1962, the property has undergone extensive recent renovations, including '2 brand-new attached ADUs' and 'most units boasting updated cabinets, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, and exterior improvements.' The images confirm modern, virtually new kitchens with updated cabinetry, countertops, backsplashes, and appliances (including stainless steel in ADUs), and contemporary bathrooms with new vanities, fixtures, and tiling. Flooring is updated throughout with modern wood-look laminate, and some units feature mini-split AC systems. The overall condition of the living spaces and ADUs is new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Strong Cash Flow & Cap Rate: The property offers an attractive 6% cap rate from day one, indicating immediate strong cash flow for investors.
Non-Rent Controlled Asset: Exempt from LA-City rent control, allowing for significant 8% annual rent increases (5%+CPI) and substantial future income upside.
Extensive Renovations & New ADUs: Features 10 units, including 2 brand-new ADUs, with most units boasting recent updates to kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and exteriors, minimizing immediate capital expenditures.
Minimized Operating Expenses: Individually metered utilities (gas, electricity) and tenant-paid trash significantly reduce landlord operating costs, enhancing net income.
Prime Long Beach Location: Situated in a high-demand North Long Beach area with low vacancy rates, excellent freeway access (405, 710, 605), and proximity to major attractions and employment hubs.

Cons

Building Age & Potential Infrastructure: Constructed in 1962, the underlying infrastructure, despite recent renovations, may require significant capital expenditures for major system replacements (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) in the long term.
Significant Recent Price Appreciation: The current list price of $2.925M represents a substantial increase from its $1.425M sale price in January 2024, necessitating thorough due diligence on the valuation and renovation costs.
High Density & Limited Amenities: With 10 units on a 6963 sqft lot, the property likely offers limited common area amenities or green space, which could be a minor drawback for tenant appeal compared to properties with more expansive grounds.
