Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1958 (66 years old) and sold 'as-is,' this duplex requires a full rehab. The property lacks central HVAC (visible window units), features dated interior finishes, and shows significant deferred maintenance on the exterior and grounds, fitting the criteria for a property needing major rehabilitation.
This duplex configuration with separate gas and electric meters provides an excellent opportunity for investors to generate two streams of rental income or for an owner-occupant to house-hack.
Both units are currently vacant, allowing for immediate renovations or the ability to place new tenants at current market rental rates without the complications of existing lease agreements.
Centrally located near downtown Bakersfield and Bakersfield College, the property offers high desirability for tenants and features convenient dual access from both the street and the rear alley.
The property is being sold in 'as-is' condition, suggesting a need for significant repairs or modernization which will require additional upfront capital investment.
With 112 days on the market despite a price reduction, the property may face perception issues regarding its value-to-condition ratio among seasoned investors.
