Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1911, this property shows significant age and deferred maintenance. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, tile countertops, and older appliances, requiring a full renovation. Both bathrooms are extremely outdated with old tile, vanities, and shower surrounds. Carpets throughout the living areas and bedrooms are heavily worn and stained, needing replacement. While livable, the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to modernize and address potential issues with major systems given its age.
This duplex offers immediate rental income from a long-term tenant in Unit 1 and flexibility for owner-occupancy, multi-generational living, or market-rate rental in the vacant Unit 2, appealing to both investors and owner-occupants.
Situated in the highly sought-after and rapidly evolving Boyle Heights neighborhood, the property benefits from strong rental demand and excellent proximity to Downtown LA, freeways, public transit, dining, and cultural amenities.
With a 3-bedroom unit and a spacious 5-bedroom unit, the property boasts excellent bedroom counts, catering to larger families or multiple tenants, which enhances its rental appeal and market value.
Built in 1911, the property is over a century old, which may indicate the need for significant updates to plumbing, electrical, and other systems, potentially leading to higher maintenance and renovation costs.
While 'value-add improvements' are mentioned as potential, the description does not detail the current condition or any recent renovations, suggesting that substantial investment may be required to modernize the units and maximize rental income.
Unit 1 is occupied by long-term tenants, which, while providing stable income, could mean current rents are below market rates, and navigating tenant relations or potential rent adjustments might present challenges.
