Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2011, this property meets the criteria for a 'good' rating as it is within the 10-20 year age range and appears move-in ready. The interior features modern elements such as granite countertops, recessed lighting, crown molding, and durable tile and laminate flooring. While the cabinetry and appliances are not brand new, they are well-maintained and functional, reflecting a property that has been kept in solid condition without the need for immediate major renovation.
Built in 2011, this property is significantly newer than the typical multi-family inventory in Whittier, offering modern building codes, energy efficiency, and lower immediate maintenance needs.
The inclusion of two separate two-car garages plus a long private driveway provides rare and ample parking for both units, a high-value feature for multi-generational living or premium rentals.
Delivered vacant, the property allows an owner-user or investor to immediately set market-rate rents or move in without the complications of existing tenant relocations.
At a list price of nearly $1,000,000, the property may face scrutiny from pure cash-flow investors regarding the capitalization rate compared to lower-priced, older alternatives.
With two large units and four garage spaces on a 5,593 sqft lot, the remaining outdoor area is relatively compact, which may limit appeal for tenants seeking significant green space.
The long single driveway and shared backyard layout may create privacy friction between the front and rear units, potentially impacting long-term tenant retention.
