Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property was built in 1984 (40 years old) and appears to retain its original kitchen cabinetry and bathroom vanities. Per the criteria, properties over 30 years old without significant renovations are classified as poor, as they typically require rehab of dated interiors and aging systems.
Situated just a 5–7 minute walk from Chico State via a direct walking path, this property is perfectly positioned to capture consistent demand from the student rental market.
The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration provides a high-utility floor plan that maximizes occupancy potential and rental income for investors.
The parking pass system allowing for up to three tenants is a significant value-add in a college-town environment where parking is often scarce and highly sought after.
The monthly HOA fee of $425 is relatively high compared to the listing price, which may impact the net cash flow and overall cap rate for an investor.
With only 960 square feet shared among three bedrooms, the living areas and individual rooms are quite small, which could limit the property's appeal to non-student residents.
This condo presents a solid investment opportunity in a prime Chico location just minutes from Chico State.
