Listing remarks

We proudly present a rarely available 7-unit residential income property in the heart of Coronado. Combining two lots totaling 7,018 square feet and zoned R-3 and classified under Tier 3 (historic review not required). Exceptional opportunity that surfaces once in a market cycle — just blocks from the iconic Ferry Landing with its waterfront dining, boutique shops, and direct access to San Diego Bay. Both APNs are being sold together. For the value-add investor, the existing units offer immediate upside through renovation and repositioning in one of California's most supply-constrained rental markets. For the developer or land banker, the R-3 zoning and combined lot size present a co

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 7 × 2-bed/?-bath units multifamily listed at $3.60M.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $-2k ($-20k/yr) — negative. Per door: $-242/mo.
  • To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $3.36M (6.8% below list).
  • To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $2.94M (18.5% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $2.94M (18.5% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
  • Cap rate 5.7% vs local median 0.9% in Coronado — 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 69/100 on livability (#249 in CA) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: commute A+, employment A+, amenities A-; Watch: cost of living F, health & safety F.
  • Coronado Unified (suburban): math 61% / reading 77% proficiency, ranked #47 of 517 in CA (top 9%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease; only 5% free/reduced lunch — higher-income household profile.
  • Zoned schools: Coronado Village Elementary (math 68% / reading 76%, grade A-, #122 of 1,571 statewide, top 8%, 780 students, 15% FRL); Coronado Middle (math 54% / reading 75%, grade A-, #45 of 498 statewide, top 9%, 641 students, 16% FRL); Coronado High (math 67% / reading 87%, grade A-, #61 of 1,170 statewide, top 5%, 1,045 students, 15% FRL).
  • Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+4.4%/yr); 161 active listings in the ZIP; 19 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals lingering (median 46d on market — plan ~5-8 weeks vacancy on turnover, expect pricing pressure); 53% of comp listings sitting > 30 days — soft ceiling on asking rent; high-income renter base; 11,759 units permitted in San Diego County in 2024 (7,244 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $29,350/mo this rent would consume 262% of the median local household income ($135k/yr) (locally 1052% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.

Forward outlook

  • In year one you build about $76k of equity ($25k loan paydown + $51k appreciation (1.4% local appreciation)).
  • San Diego County population projected at +20% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
  • By year 4, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$267k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 55 days — a 3% lower offer ($3.49M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • Current owner paid $75k; list at $3.60M implies a 4700% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1955 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Recommended offer $2,935,000 (18.5% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. What do current leases actually rent for vs. the listed asking? Can we see a recent rent roll and the last 12 months of T-12 income?
  2. It's been on market 55 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 18% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  3. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
  4. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
  5. Built in 1955 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  6. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  7. Schools are A-rated — typically a magnet for longer-tenancy family renters. What's the average tenant stay here, and is there a school-zone premium baked into asking?
  8. The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
  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.
