Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1967, this property is over 50 years old but has received mid-life updates including granite countertops and laminate flooring (likely 15-20 years old). While the listing describes it as 'neat and clean,' the interior remains dated with older tile work and fireplace finishes. A significant concern is the presence of a portable space heater in the bedroom, which often indicates an inadequate or non-functional central HVAC system. The property is functional for rental purposes but requires minor repairs and system updates to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Income Generation Potential
The property is uniquely configured into three separate units with independent entrances, offering a projected rental income of $3,250 per month, making it an ideal opportunity for house hacking or multi-generational living.
- Prime Location
Situated in a highly desirable area near Little Saigon (Brookhurst/Hazard), the home benefits from excellent proximity to cultural hubs, shopping, and dining, ensuring high tenant demand and long-term value.
- Turnkey Amenities
The residence features fresh paint, granite countertops, and specialized infrastructure including dual laundry areas (with coin-op for tenants) and ample parking, allowing for immediate occupancy without initial capital improvements.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Zoning and Permit Risks
The conversion of a single-family residence into three separate units may raise concerns regarding zoning compliance and building permits, which could complicate traditional financing or future resale.
- High Price per Square Foot
At a list price of $1.25 million for 1,746 square feet, the property carries a premium price point that may be difficult to justify for buyers not specifically seeking a multi-unit rental configuration.
