TeardownExcellent
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1919, the property underwent a comprehensive interior renovation just four months ago.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Recent Modern Upgrades
All units were refreshed approximately four months ago with updated flooring, modern white cabinetry, and new hardware, providing a turnkey opportunity that minimizes immediate capital expenditure for a new owner.
- Exceptional Parking Ratio
The property includes eight uncovered parking spaces, a rare and highly desirable feature for a multi-unit building in a dense Los Angeles neighborhood, significantly increasing its rental appeal and value.
- Versatile Unit Mix
The building offers a diverse mix of two 3-bedroom, one 2-bedroom, and two 1-bedroom units, allowing an investor to capture various segments of the rental market and stabilize the income stream.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Vintage Infrastructure
Built in 1919, the property is over a century old, which may lead to higher long-term maintenance costs for aging plumbing, electrical, and structural systems not addressed by recent cosmetic upgrades.
- Limited Bathroom Count
All units, including the larger three-bedroom configurations, feature only one bathroom, which may limit the maximum rental potential and appeal for families or roommate-based households.
