Built in 1939 (87 years old).
Condition: While the property was built in 1939, it has undergone significant and recent upgrades. The roof and windows for all units were replaced in 2012 (12 years ago), falling within the 'Good' category's renovation timeline. Crucially, one unit has been fully remodeled recently, featuring a brand-new interior with modern wood-look laminate flooring, fresh paint, new light fixtures, a contemporary kitchen with new dark blue shaker cabinets, white quartz countertops, and a new sink (though appliances are not shown). The bathroom in this unit is also fully updated with new tiling, vanity, and fixtures. The description notes 'ongoing updates, including some newer kitchen cabinets and bathroom improvements' in the other units, suggesting they are also in a move-in ready state, even if not as extensively renovated as the vacant unit. The property's major systems are functional and updated, making it move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required, despite the age of the original structure.

Extensive Recent Upgrades & Full Remodel: All units have undergone major upgrades, including a new roof (2012) and new windows for all units. The vacant second unit has been fully remodeled with a brand-new roof, windows, electrical meter, heater, and a completely new interior.
Desirable Unit Features & Privacy: The first and second units are detached, providing enhanced privacy. The third unit includes a private two-car garage and a dedicated yard, while the fourth unit also offers a private yard with excellent backyard privacy.

Versatility for Investors & Owner-Users: With a fully remodeled vacant unit, the property presents an excellent opportunity for both investors seeking income growth and owner-users looking to occupy a modern unit while generating rental income from the others.

Cons

Age of Property Structure: Built in 1939, the property's underlying structure is over 80 years old. While significant upgrades have been made, the age could still imply potential for unforeseen maintenance issues or higher long-term capital expenditures compared to newer constructions.
Transition Risk for Below-Market Rents: While below-market rents offer upside, transitioning existing tenants to market rates can be a complex process, potentially involving vacancies, tenant negotiations, or legal considerations, which could impact immediate cash flow and require careful management.
Limited HVAC Information for All Units: The description highlights a 'new heater' for the vacant unit, but lacks specific details regarding the heating and cooling systems for the other three units, which could be a concern for tenant comfort and future capital expenditure in a California climate.
