More Insights
Built in 1944 (81 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1944, the listing explicitly states that the roof, AC units, flooring, and cabinets are all in 'superb condition' and the units are 'meticulously maintained' and offer 'modern living spaces.' The images support this, showing updated white kitchen cabinets, clean white appliances, and light-colored laminate flooring throughout. While the kitchen backsplash appears slightly dated and the property relies on wall AC units rather than central air, these are minor points given the overall stated condition and visible updates. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with a 'Good' rating.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Immediate Rental Income: Both units are currently leased, providing instant cash flow and a proven income stream for the investor from day one.
Exceptional Property Condition: Recent updates and meticulous maintenance mean the roof, AC units, flooring, and cabinets are in superb condition, minimizing immediate capital expenditures for a new owner.
Strategic Location: Proximity to downtown, Marine Corps Base, and Joshua Tree National Park ensures a strong and diverse tenant pool, contributing to consistent occupancy and rental demand.
Enhanced Tenant Appeal & Privacy: Being fully furnished and featuring no common walls, separate water heaters, appliances, and individual AC units per unit provides superior tenant comfort, privacy, and convenience.
Turn-Key Investment: The property is a well-maintained, income-producing duplex with individual amenities, making it an attractive, ready-to-operate investment opportunity.
Cons
Age of Structure: Built in 1944, the property's underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems not explicitly mentioned as updated) may be older, potentially leading to unforeseen maintenance issues despite recent cosmetic and component updates.
Small Unit Footprint: With a total of 1056 sqft for two 1-bed, 1-bath units, each unit is relatively small (approx. 528 sqft), which may limit the appeal to certain tenant demographics or command lower rents compared to larger units.
Non-Central HVAC System: The reliance on 'two wall units' for year-round comfort, rather than a central air conditioning system, can be less efficient, noisier, and less desirable for some tenants, potentially impacting long-term tenant satisfaction or energy costs.
