Condition: The property is well-maintained and clean, as described, with fresh paint and functional components. However, the kitchens feature dated tile countertops and older wood cabinets, and the bathrooms have basic, older-style vanities and tile surrounds. Heating is provided by wall-mounted units, not a modern central HVAC system. While move-in ready, these key areas show signs of being outdated and would benefit from minor updates to meet current aesthetic and efficiency standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =9252, other record lot size in square feet = 9009.
Limited Unit Configuration: The property primarily offers 1-bedroom units (with one two-level cottage), which may limit the tenant pool to singles or couples and could restrict potential rental income growth compared to properties with a more diverse unit mix.
Absence of Specific Capital Improvement Details: While described as 'well-maintained' and having 'thoughtful updates,' the listing lacks specific information on the age or condition of major systems (e.g., roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC), which could imply unforeseen capital expenditures for a new owner.
High Entry Price Point: Located in a premium Marin County market, the property's list price of $1.19 million represents a substantial investment, potentially leading to a lower capitalization rate compared to properties in less expensive markets, which might not suit all investor strategies.
