Unlock the potential of a truly exceptional investment in the heart of Sherman Oaks. This 10-unit apartment complex is ideally positioned just steps from the bustling retail and dining corridor of Magnolia Boulevard, one of the most dynamic and desirable destinations in the San Fernando Valley. This location offers immediate access to everything today's renters desire—walkable amenities, top-rated schools, trendy cafes, fitness studios, and convenient freeway access via the 101 and 405. It’s a location that commands attention and attracts high-quality, long-term tenants. The property itself is a rare find: spacious, townhouse-style units that provide residents with the comfort and feel of a home rather than a typical apartment. These desirable layouts, coupled with features like central air and heat, hardwood floors, fireplaces, private patios, and on-site gated parking, set this asset apart from others in the market. The building has already undergone key capital improvements including a brand-new roof and completed soft-story seismic retrofitting, positioning it for long-term stability and low maintenance. This is a true hidden gem—gated, private, and exclusive—nestled within one of the most in-demand rental pockets in Sherman Oaks. Known for its low vacancy rates and strong tenant demand, this area is a magnet for professionals and families seeking lifestyle, convenience, and comfort. From an investment standpoint, the numbers speak for themselves: with a 43.67% potential upside in rents, this property is a prime reposition opportunity in a market where rent growth continues to climb. With limited new rental inventory in the area and increasing demand for larger, well-located units, this property stands to significantly increase cash flow post-renovation or strategic upgrades. Whether you're looking to add a trophy asset to your portfolio or secure a high-performing investment in a blue-chip neighborhood, this Sherman Oaks multifamily offering checks all the boxes. Opportunities like this rarely come to market. Contact us today to schedule a private tour and explore how this incredible asset can elevate your portfolio.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 10 × 18-bed/14.0-bath units multifamily listed at $2.95M. Condition is rated good.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $6k ($73k/yr) — positive. Per door: $610/mo.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($34k rent vs $2.95M).
  • Recommended offer: $2.68M (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 8.8% 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: Kester Avenue Elementary (836 students, 48% FRL); Van Nuys Middle (869 students, 92% FRL); Van Nuys Senior High (math 40% / reading 56%, grade D, #380 of 1,170 statewide, top 33%, 2,323 students, 84% FRL).
  • Market conditions: Rents soft (-2.1%/yr); 58 active listings in the ZIP; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $33,524/mo this rent would consume 539% of the median local household income ($75k/yr) (locally 2221% 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 $20k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $88k 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 91 days — a 9% lower offer ($2.68M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 10 sale attempts since 8y 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

  • Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 8→22/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $2,684,500 (9.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 91 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 1964 — 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.
