Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Originally built in 1937, the property is well-maintained with significant recent exterior maintenance including new roofs and repaired fascia. While the front unit has been fully renovated ('totally gone thru'), the property as a whole reflects its age. The exterior shows a functional but dated aesthetic, and without evidence of full renovations to the remaining three units or major system overhauls (electrical/plumbing), it meets the criteria for a well-kept but aged property.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Owner-Occupancy Potential
The front unit can be delivered vacant, providing a rare opportunity for a buyer to occupy one unit while using rental income from the other three to offset the mortgage.
- Exceptional Parking Capacity
Featuring three single-car garages, a carport, and ample off-street parking, this property addresses a major pain point for multi-family tenants in high-density areas.
- Recent Capital Improvements
The property boasts significant recent upgrades including newly redone roofs and repaired/painted fascia boards, reducing immediate deferred maintenance costs for the investor.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Historical Infrastructure
Originally built in 1937, the property may have aging plumbing, electrical, or foundation components that require more frequent maintenance than modern builds.
- Modest School Ratings
The majority of the assigned local schools have ratings in the 3 to 5 range, which may limit the property's appeal to families seeking top-tier educational districts.
- Absence of Views
The property lacks any significant scenic views, which can be a disadvantage when competing for premium rental rates against properties with more aesthetic surroundings.
