Listing remarks MLS

We are pleased to present 2700 White Lane, a 149-unit studio apartment community situated at the Highway 99 interchange in Southwest Bakersfield's Wible Orchard neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1965 as a Howard Johnson hotel, the property has been converted to multifamily use under Conditional Use Permit 23-0642, approved by the Bakersfield Planning Commission on February 29, 2024. The asset is being offered as a court-supervised sale through a receivership, presenting a compelling heavy value-add opportunity with a defined scope of remaining work, strong rental comparables, and deep Section 8 demand. The two-story, L-shaped property encompasses approximately 61,500 square feet of building area across 149 studio units averaging approximately 400 square feet each, with kitchenettes in a hotel-conversion format and exterior corridors. The site features a kidney-shaped swimming pool and a large surface parking lot. The property benefits from exceptional freeway visibility, with Highway 99 carrying more than 170,000 vehicles per day, and direct access from White Lane, one of Southwest Bakersfield's primary east-west arterials. Valley Plaza Mall is approximately two miles east and Downtown Bakersfield approximately five miles northeast. The property currently operates at 65.1% occupancy, with 97 units leased and 52 vacant (including 4 on notice and 2 in eviction). Approximately 40% of occupied units (~39 units) are leased to Section 8 voucher holders, and the Bakersfield Housing Authority has approved contract rents at this address ranging from $975 to $1,095 per month. This voucher concentration represents a strategic asset: Section 8 demand in the Southwest Bakersfield submarket is strong, providing a reliable tenant pipeline once the property achieves full CUP compliance and professional stabilization. Market rent support is anchored by Ming Tree Apartments at 5601 Ming Avenue, which achieves $1,075 per month for studios 2.5 miles from the subject on a comparable commercial corridor. This figure represents current achievable market rent, not a projection. Same-ZIP-code comparables in the 93304 area average $1,057 per month unadjusted, while the broader Southwest Bakersfield studio market (93309) averages $1,046 per month adjusted. A stabilized rent assumption of $1,075 per month is conservative relative to these benchmarks and falls $20 below the maximum Section 8-approved contract rent at the property. The single most significant risk mitigant in this transaction is that the remaining scope of work is defined and permitted. Fire sprinklers and alarm systems have been completed in accordance with the CUP, representing substantial life-safety capital already invested. The remaining CUP compliance items include five 8-by-20-foot masonry trash enclosures, six ADA parking stalls and path of travel, Los Carneros and White Lane sidewalk replacement, drive approaches and management signage, parking lot slurry seal and restripe, streetlight installation, landscaping, and perimeter security fence and gates. These items are specified in both the CUP punch list and a Patterson & Sons Construction estimate totaling approximately $745,000 for base construction (plans and permits excluded). Including permits, engineering, security fence, and contingency, buyers should underwrite $1.0M to $1.3M in total construction and soft costs. CUP-mandated impact fees, including a Park Development Fee of $312,155 plus Transportation Impact and Sewer Connection fees, are separate and typically addressed at closing through buyer responsibility, seller credit, or negotiated split.

🏷️ Possibly a rental listed for sale. The $8,400,000 price doesn't fit this home's estimated sale value (~$13,000,447) and the remarks read like a rental — treat the cards below with caution.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

• This is a 149 × 1-bed/1-bath units multifamily listed at $8.40M. Condition is rated average.

Deal economics

• At list price, monthly cash flow is $66k ($797k/yr) — positive. Per door: $446/mo.
• The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
• Meets the 1% rule at list price ($158k rent vs $8.40M).
• Recommended offer: $7.64M (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
• Cap rate 15.8% vs local median 3.6% in Bakersfield — 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 58/100 on livability (#716 in CA) — a working-class tenant base; expect higher turnover. Strengths: housing A+; Watch: health & safety D, schools D-, crime F.
• Kern High (urban): math 21% / reading 51% proficiency, ranked #860 of 1,400 in CA (top 61%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
• Market conditions: Rents soft (-1.7%/yr); 159 active listings in the ZIP; 3,244 units permitted in Kern County in 2024 (73 in 5+ unit buildings).
• At $157,551/mo this rent would consume 3722% of the median local household income ($51k/yr) (locally 2587% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.

Forward outlook

• Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $58k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $252k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
• Kern County population projected at +17% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
• At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 0.0% rent growth), your $2.35M cash investment doubles in ~4 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Negotiation context

• It's been on market 118 days — a 9% lower offer ($7.64M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
• 3 sale attempts; this cycle's ask is 884111% above the opening price — seller raised mid-cycle; expect resistance to lowballs.

Recommended offer $7,644,000 (9.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

1. It's been on market 118 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 9% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
2. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
3. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
4. Built in 1965 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
5. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
6. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
7. 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?
8. 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?
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
