Pros & Cons

Security & Parking Amenities: The property features a fully gated lot and a 3-car garage, providing valuable security, privacy, and ample parking or storage space for tenants.
Cons
Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) Restrictions: The property is subject to the City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), which imposes limitations on rent increases and tenant eviction processes, potentially impacting an investor's flexibility and long-term returns.
Mixed School Performance in Immediate Area: While some nearby schools have good ratings, several others in the immediate vicinity have lower performance ratings (e.g., 1s, 2s, and 3s), which could be a deterrent for prospective owner-occupants or tenants with school-aged children.
Absence of Explicit Central Air Conditioning: Despite being fully remodeled, the property description does not explicitly mention central air conditioning, a highly desirable amenity in Los Angeles that could be a drawback for tenants, especially during warmer months.
