Listing remarks MLS

1202 S Cochran Avenue is a meticulously maintained 6-unit property located in the Mid-Wilshire neighborhood of Los Angeles, just north of San Vicente Boulevard. Built in 1939 and situated on an oversized 10,213 square foot R3 corner lot, the property offers large units, condo-quality renovations, and fully upgraded systems with newer electrical and copper plumbing. Totaling approximately 7,348 square feet of living space, units average an expansive 1,225 square feet each and consist of (4) one-bedroom / one-bathroom and (2) two-bedroom / one-bathroom layouts. Current rents are close to market, with one-bedrooms averaging $2,828 per month and two-bedrooms averaging $3,417 per month. Each unit has been thoughtfully remodeled with condo-level finishes, including hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances (Viking stoves), granite countertops, travertine flooring, recessed lighting, and in-unit washer/dryer. Bathrooms feature marble countertops, stall showers with body sprayers, whirlpool tubs, and high-end finishes throughout. The property has also undergone major capital improvements, including copper plumbing, upgraded electrical systems, newer dual-pane windows, and central heating and air conditioning in all units. Each unit is individually metered with its own furnace and water heater, both located in the basement. The property is fully gated and secured, and parking includes (2) two-car garages, (2) one-car garages, and uncovered space for 2-4 more vehicles (8-10 total parking spaces). The low expense profile is further supported by minimal landscaping and tenant-covered trash expenses. The detached garage configuration and oversized corner lot present strong ADU potential, including the possibility of additional units under SB-1211 (Buyer to Verify), offering investors a clear path to increased density and maximized value.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

• This is a 6 × 8-bed/6.0-bath units multifamily listed at $2.38M.

Deal economics

• At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($28k/yr) — positive. Per door: $386/mo.
• The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
• To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $2.36M (0.5% below list).
• Recommended offer: $2.23M (6.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
• Cap rate 7.5% 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-, crime F, cost of living 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.
• Zoned schools: Wilshire Crest Elementary (139 students, 81% FRL); John Burroughs Middle (reading 39%, 1,373 students, 82% FRL); Fairfax Senior High (math 40% / reading 61%, grade D+, #324 of 1,170 statewide, top 28%, 1,632 students, 81% FRL).
• Market conditions: Rents soft (-0.5%/yr); 206 active listings in the ZIP; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
• At $23,625/mo this rent would consume 383% of the median local household income ($74k/yr) (locally 5272% 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 $16k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $71k 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 64 days — a 6% lower offer ($2.23M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
• Current owner paid $1.02M; list at $2.38M implies a 132% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.

Risks & watch-outs

• Watch-outs: built in 1939 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
• Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 7→21/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.

Recommended offer $2,232,500 (6.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

1. It's been on market 64 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 6% 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 1939 — 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. 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?
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
