Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1906 property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age, placing it firmly in the 'fair' category. While some living areas feature refinished hardwood floors and updated recessed lighting, the kitchens and bathrooms are dated, featuring older tile countertops, vintage cabinetry, and basic appliances that lack modern styling. The exterior and rear wooden structures show visible wear and tear consistent with a century-old building that has had occasional updates rather than a comprehensive recent renovation.
Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
Officially classified as a 4-unit residential building, this property qualifies for 30-year fixed residential financing while providing the income of five legal units, offering a rare advantage for investors.
With three units delivered vacant at the close of escrow, including a massive 4BR/2BA duplex, owners can immediately realize market-rate rents or utilize house-hacking strategies without tenant relocation hurdles.
Dating back to 1906, the property may require significant ongoing maintenance or capital expenditures to update aging systems and ensure compliance with modern seismic or building codes.
The advertised 7.01% CAP rate is based on market rent assumptions and the successful lease-up of vacant units, rather than actual day-one stabilized cash flow.
