More Insights

Built in 1970 (55 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1970, making it 54 years old. While it benefits from significant recent updates such as a brand new roof (2024) and recently replaced furnaces in all units, and one unit boasts a completely remodeled kitchen with modern finishes and updated appliances, the overall condition is still 'Fair'. The description notes 'newer toilets and vanity sinks' and 'updated flooring in select rooms' for all units, implying that not all units have undergone a full, modern renovation. The provided interior image (a bedroom) shows wood paneling on the ceiling, exposed beams, and a general dated aesthetic, which contradicts a 'modern finishes' expectation across the board. This suggests that while major systems are updated and one unit is modern, other areas likely retain their original or older charm, requiring further updates to meet current quality standards throughout all units. It is well-maintained for its age, but not extensively renovated enough across all units to be considered 'Good'.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Strong Income Potential & Occupancy: Fully occupied by long-term, reliable tenants with a very low vacancy rate, providing steady income and significant upside potential for increased rental income as units are currently under-rented.
Extensive Capital Improvements: Major upgrades completed, including a brand new 2024 flat roof with a 25+ year warranty and recently replaced furnaces in each unit, significantly reducing immediate maintenance and capital expenditure concerns.
Prime Coastal Location: Located in highly desirable Costa Mesa, minutes from the beach, shopping, dining, and major freeways, ensuring consistent high rental demand and tenant appeal.
Ample Parking: Offers substantial parking with a 4-car garage plus 6 additional off-street spaces, a valuable amenity for a multi-unit property in a dense area.
Partial Interior Modernization: Unit #1 features a completely remodeled kitchen and master shower, with newer toilets, vanity sinks, and updated flooring in select rooms across all units, enhancing tenant comfort and appeal.

Cons

Under-Market Rents: All units are currently rented below market value, requiring active management to realize full income potential, which may involve tenant turnover or rent increase negotiations.
Age of Property & Inconsistent Updates: Built in 1970, and while some areas are updated, the description implies not all units or rooms have received full modern renovations, potentially leading to inconsistent aesthetics or future renovation costs for other areas.
