Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1956 (68 years old) and the listing lacks mention of recent renovations to kitchens, bathrooms, or major systems. While the exterior appears well-maintained with updated pavers and intact roofing, the age and 'Residential Income' status suggest the interior and systems are likely dated and require modernization to meet current market standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Versatile Unit Mix
The property features a detached 2-bedroom front house and two 1-bedroom rear units, providing an ideal configuration for an owner-occupant or an investor seeking diversified rental income.
- Dedicated Garage Parking
Each of the three units includes its own garage, a highly sought-after amenity in South Gate that significantly enhances tenant retention and property value.
- Expansive Lot Size
The 8,223 sqft lot is notably large for a triplex, offering potential for future ADU development or the creation of premium outdoor living spaces for residents.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Significant Price Appreciation
The $1.05M list price reflects a substantial jump from the 2020 sale price of $670K, which may challenge the initial cap rate and ROI for yield-focused investors.
- Vintage Infrastructure
Built in 1956, the property may require capital expenditures for modernizing systems or cosmetic updates to justify top-of-market rents.
About 5237 Duncan
