Listing remarks MLS
8529 Cashio Street, Los Angeles, CA 90035, is a 5-unit multifamily investment opportunity located in the highly desirable Pico-Robertson submarket. Built in 1955, the property consists of approximately 6,001 square feet of improvements situated on a 5,081 square foot LAR3-zoned parcel. The unit mix includes one (1) one-bedroom / one-bathroom unit, two (2) two-bedroom / one-bathroom units, and two (2) two-bedroom / one-and-a-half-bathroom units, appealing to a broad tenant base seeking larger, well-located apartments. The property offers investors a well-maintained asset with a strong physical foundation and clear long-term upside potential. Notably, the building has completed the City of Los Angeles mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit program, providing peace of mind and mitigating future compliance risk. Additional capital improvements include upgrades to the roof and plumbing systems, contributing to overall operational stability. Residents benefit from a highly walkable location, with a Walk Score of 88, and convenient access to a wide array of retail, dining, and lifestyle amenities along Pico Boulevard and Robertson Boulevard. The property is centrally located, with easy access to Beverly Hills, Century City, Culver City, and other major Westside employment centers, which supports consistent rental demand. The asset also features on-site parking for five vehicles, an increasingly valuable amenity in this dense, urban submarket. With its attractive unit mix and prime Pico-Robertson location, 8529 Cashio Street presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a stable, well-positioned multifamily property in one of Los Angeles' most sought-after rental neighborhoods.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 1×1bd/1ba + 2×2bd/1ba + 2×2bd/1.5ba units multifamily listed at $1.56M.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($27k/yr) — positive. Per door: $455/mo.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- Meets the 1% rule at list price ($16k rent vs $1.56M).
- Recommended offer: $1.52M (3.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
- Cap rate 8.0% vs local median 2.1% in Los Angeles — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.
Location & tenants
- Location reads 68/100 on livability (#273 in CA) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: amenities A+, commute A+, employment B; Watch: health & safety C-, schools D+, crime F.
- Los Angeles Unified (urban): math 29% / reading 54% proficiency, ranked #223 of 517 in CA (top 43%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases; 67% free/reduced lunch — lower-income household profile, screen leases tightly.
- Market conditions: Rents soft (-1.6%/yr); 108 active listings in the ZIP; 1 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; solid renter incomes; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
Forward outlook
- In year one you build about $53k of equity ($11k loan paydown + $43k appreciation (2.7% local appreciation)).
- Los Angeles County population projected at +9% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
- At projected returns (2.7% appreciation + 0.0% rent growth), your $438k cash investment doubles in ~6 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
- By year 3, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$133k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Negotiation context
- It's been on market 34 days — a 3% lower offer ($1.52M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
- 2 sale attempts since 15y ago with the ask held roughly flat each time — persistent listings suggest the price (not the market) is what's stuck; bring a comps-based counter.
- Current owner paid $1.10M; 42% above their basis — modest negotiation headroom, anchor on the comps not their cost.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1955 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
- Climate carrying-cost: major flood risk; extreme-heat days projected 7→21/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 34 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 3% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
- Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
- What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
- Built in 1955 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
- Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
- Schools are D-rated, which usually means shorter tenancies and higher turnover. Who's the typical renter profile here, and what's been the actual vacancy rate?
- Crime grade is F in this area — have there been break-ins, vandalism, or insurance claims at this property in the last 3 years? What carrier currently insures it and at what premium?
- What's the average days-on-market for RENTAL listings here right now (not sales)? A rising rental-DOM trend means longer vacancies and softer asking-rent achievability than the comps imply.
- What's the recent tenant-quality profile in this submarket — average credit score on applications, eviction rate, late-payment / NSF rate, and stable-employment percentage? A property-management company in the area should have these aggregated.
- How much new apartment / multifamily construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply (>2% of stock underway) typically softens rents 12–24 months out; light construction supports rent growth.

For passive investors: Depreciation is non-cash, so a rental often shows a tax loss while cash-flowing — sheltering income. Rental losses are passive: they offset passive income freely, and up to $25,000/yr can offset ordinary (W-2) income if you actively participate and your MAGI is under $100k (phasing out to $0 by $150k); unused losses carry forward. On sale, claimed depreciation is recaptured at up to 25%, and gains may owe capital-gains tax (a 1031 exchange can defer both). Figures are a year-1 estimate at your 24.0% rate — not tax advice; consult a CPA.
