Listing remarks MLS
This well maintained 5 unit, mixed use property is the perfect entry level commercial investment. Featuring (4) One bedroom, one bathroom units (1) small retail unit and (2) oversized, fully-gated one car driveways. With one being at each end of the property. This property is uniquely located on a wide, corner lot, consisting of two detached buildings, making the retail unit and 4 residential units entirely separate. This offers both prime frontage for the retail unit along side a sense of privacy for the residential units. The retail unit was once a to-go, food business, then a snack stand and is currently used as storage. The commercial retail unit and (1) residential unit will be delivered vacant; offering access to immediate upside in rents. The Watts area is under rapid re-development including recent building of Freedom Plaza to compliment the rebuilding 100s of new units at the Jordan Downs Housing Complex. The nearby Nickerson Gardens and Imperial Courts are slated for similar development as well, furthering the economic activity in the area and providing much needed housing. Located just minutes away from Downtown Los Angeles with close proximity to 105, 110, 710 and 605 Freeways; making it ideal for transit to area employers and attractions. Contact me today to set up your showings or with any questions! With two units delivered vacant, you can easily achieve a near 8.5% cap rate and a 9.5 GRM to CASH FLOW! Additionally, the adjacent property at 11003 Compton Ave is listed for sale at the same time, offering the chance to assemble both properties. See MLS Listing #26665505 for more information.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 5 × 1-bed/1-bath units multifamily listed at $850k.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($22k/yr) — positive. Per door: $371/mo.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- Meets the 1% rule at list price ($10k rent vs $850k).
- Recommended offer: $824k (3.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
- Cap rate 8.9% 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: 53 active listings in the ZIP; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
- At $9,785/mo this rent would consume 209% of the median local household income ($56k/yr) (locally 2085% 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 $6k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $26k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
- Los Angeles County population projected at +9% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
Negotiation context
- It's been on market 58 days — a 3% lower offer ($824k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
- 9 sale attempts since 11y 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.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1927 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 58 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 1927 — 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.
