Pros & Cons
Pros
Immediate Income Generation: This is a fully occupied, turn-key triplex, providing instant rental income and making it an attractive investment for those seeking immediate returns.
Strategic Location: Positioned on the desirable Oakland/Emeryville border, the property offers prime access to major employment centers and vibrant neighborhoods like Temescal, Uptown, and Bay Street Emeryville.
Superior Commuter Access: Exceptional connectivity to major freeways (I-80, I-580, I-880) and close proximity to MacArthur BART station ensures easy commutes to San Francisco and other Bay Area destinations.
Desirable Tenant Features: The units boast spacious layouts, high ceilings, and dual-pane windows, enhancing tenant satisfaction and contributing to strong renter retention in a high-demand market.
Ample Gated Parking: A rare and valuable asset in an urban setting, the gated 6-car parking area and large rear lot provide significant convenience and appeal to prospective tenants.
Cons
Historic Property Age: Built in 1912, the property's age may imply higher ongoing maintenance costs, potential for outdated systems, and the need for future capital expenditures.
Variable Local School Performance: While numerous schools are nearby, some elementary and high schools in the immediate vicinity have lower ratings, which could be a consideration for families with school-aged children.
Recent Price History Discrepancy: The property's last recorded sale in June 2023 was at $1.042 million, which is notably lower than the current list price of $1.179 million, potentially indicating an ambitious pricing strategy or requiring strong justification for the increased valuation.
