Cotati, CA 94931
Analysis of 8276 Lancaster Drive, Cotati, CA 94931 is currently available with a list price of $1,083,330. The property maintains a Poor Condition Rating (30/100), indicating the property requires renovation and updates to maximize its market potential. This presents opportunities for value-add investors. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the Cotati Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for Experienced Investors and Fix-and-Flip Specialists.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1984 (40 years old), this property falls into the poor category due to its age and evidence of deferred maintenance. While functional, the interior shows dated systems like original wall heaters, and the listing confirms the need for structural balcony repairs. Given the long-term tenancy, kitchens and baths likely require significant rehab to reach modern market standards.
Each of the five 2-bedroom units features a private one-car garage and dedicated outdoor space—either fenced patios for ground units or expansive decks for upper units—which drives high tenant demand.
The seller is completing all required balcony inspections and repairs prior to the close of escrow, providing the buyer with immediate compliance and reducing near-term maintenance costs.
The property is ideally situated within walking or biking distance to Oliver's Market, local restaurants, and parks, ensuring long-term desirability and low vacancy rates.
The requirement to purchase this property concurrently with the adjacent 4-unit building increases the total capital requirement and may limit the pool of eligible investors.
With long-term tenants and decades of the same family ownership, current rents may be below market value, requiring a strategic plan to realize the property's full income potential.
Exceptional investment opportunity in a desirable Cotati location! This two-story five-plex features five identical, single-level 2-bedroom, 1-bath flats, with 3 units on the ground floor and two on the upper level. Lower units enjoy private fenced patios and yard areas, while the upper units feature expansive decks, providing inviting outdoor living spaces for every resident. Each unit includes its own one-car garage, with additional parking located behind the building. Residents also enjoy professionally managed on-site laundry facilities as well as access through a gated entry to a shared common area, offering extra space to relax, play, or gather. This property has been in the same family for decades and has long-term tenants. The seller has completed the required balcony inspections and intends to complete all recommended balcony and related repairs prior to the close of escrow, providing added peace of mind and reducing future maintenance concerns for the new owner. Ideally located in a quiet, easily accessible neighborhood, the property is within an easy walk or bike ride to Oliver's Market, shopping, restaurants, parks, and other everyday conveniences. Combining a strong unit mix, desirable tenant amenities, thoughtful site design, and a sought-after location, this five-plex presents an outstanding opportunity for investors seeking a quality location with long-term upside.
