More Insights
Built in 1949 (76 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1949, this property has undergone a comprehensive and very recent renovation. The images clearly show brand new kitchens with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and new stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms feature modern vanities, fixtures, and finishes. New light-colored LVP flooring is installed throughout, complemented by fresh white paint, recessed lighting, and modern ceiling fans. The exterior also appears freshly painted with a new roof and driveway. All visible components, including central A/C units, water heater, and electrical panel, appear new or virtually new, indicating no deferred maintenance and meeting current quality standards. This extensive renovation qualifies the property as excellent.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Investment Opportunity: Explicitly marketed as a 'Turnkey investment opportunity' and 'prime opportunity for investors or owner-users to maximize rental income,' indicating strong potential for cash flow and appreciation.
Immediate Vacancy for Repositioning: All three units are currently vacant, allowing a new owner to immediately implement market-rate rents, screen new tenants, and potentially make cosmetic upgrades without tenant disruption.
Individual Unit Amenities: Each unit benefits from its own 1-car garage, individual gas and electric meters, and central A/C and heating, which are highly desirable features for tenants and simplify utility management for the landlord.
Strategic Location: The property boasts a convenient location near major freeways (I-10, 57, 60, 71), public transit (Metrolink Pomona station), educational institutions (Cal Poly Pomona, Claremont Colleges), healthcare (Pomona Valley Hospital), and extensive shopping options, enhancing rental demand.
Triplex Configuration: As a triplex, the property offers diversified income streams, reducing risk compared to a single-family rental, and provides flexibility for an owner-occupant to live in one unit while generating income from the others.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-09-18. The sold price is $790,000.00.
Age of Property: Built in 1949, the property is 75 years old, which may necessitate higher maintenance costs or future capital expenditures for major system replacements (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) despite being described as 'turnkey'.
No Immediate Rental Income: While vacancy offers flexibility, it also means the buyer will incur carrying costs without immediate rental income until new tenants are secured and leases commence.
Compact Unit Sizes: With a total of 2492 sqft for three 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, each unit averages approximately 830 sqft, which might be considered compact for a 2-bedroom and could potentially limit the tenant pool or achievable rental rates compared to larger units.
