Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property was built in 1926 (98 years old) and the listing provides no evidence of recent renovations to the kitchens, bathrooms, or major systems (HVAC/Electric). While the exterior is standing, it shows signs of significant aging and deferred maintenance. Based on the age and lack of updates, the property likely requires a full rehab to meet modern safety and functional standards.
As a duplex featuring two 2-bedroom units, this property offers a versatile opportunity for investors to generate steady rental income or for owner-occupants to utilize house-hacking to offset mortgage costs.
The inclusion of garages at the rear of the property provides secure parking and valuable storage space, which is a highly desirable and competitive feature in the South Gate rental market.
The property is ideally situated within walking distance of multiple educational institutions, including Willow Elementary and Independence Elementary, making it highly attractive to families with children.
Originally constructed in 1926, the property may require significant capital expenditures for updates to aging plumbing, electrical systems, and structural components to meet modern building codes.
The current list price of $799,900 reflects a substantial increase from its 2018 sale price of $375,000, which may challenge investors looking for high immediate cap rates in a stabilizing market.
