More Insights
Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1962, making it over 60 years old. While the listing states it is 'well maintained' and boasts a 'brand new roof' (a significant capital improvement), the interior images, specifically of the kitchen, reveal very dated features. The kitchen has older, light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, basic white square tile flooring, and older, functional but not modern appliances (one black, one white gas range). There are no images of the bathrooms, but the kitchen alone indicates that the interiors have not undergone a major renovation in many years. The property is functional and livable, but requires significant updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of an aged but maintained home where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Multi-Unit Income Property: The property is a triplex, offering three separate rental units (2 bed/1 bath each), which provides diversified income streams and is ideal for investors.
Tenant Privacy & Amenities: Each unit is detached and features its own private backyard or patio (one with an extra-large patio), enhancing tenant privacy and appeal. Additionally, each unit has an assigned carport for parking.
Recent Major Capital Improvement: A brand new roof has been installed on all three units, significantly reducing immediate maintenance costs and future capital expenditure for the new owner.
High Occupancy Potential: The description explicitly states 'no vacancy issues,' indicating strong rental demand and a stable income stream for investors.
Significant Rent Upside: The property is highlighted as having 'huge rent upside,' suggesting potential for increased rental income and improved cash flow over time.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1962, the property is over 60 years old, which may lead to potential issues with aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems) or require future updates to meet modern standards.
Unit Configuration: All units are configured as 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. While functional, this single-bathroom layout might limit appeal to certain tenant demographics, such as larger families, or restrict potential rent increases compared to units with more bathrooms.
Lack of Specific Interior Updates: While described as 'well maintained,' the listing does not detail specific interior renovations beyond the new roof. This could imply that interiors might be dated or require further investment to fully capitalize on the 'huge rent upside' potential.
