Listing remarks MLS

Located in the desirable community of Northridge, 17926 Schoenborn St presents an excellent multifamily investment opportunity in one of the San Fernando Valley’s most consistently strong rental markets. Situated on a quiet residential street with convenient alley access, the property benefits from both neighborhood charm and close proximity to major retail, transportation, and employment hubs throughout the area. The property features a well-balanced six-unit unit mix consisting of four 1-Bedroom/1-Bath units, one 2-Bedroom/2-Bath unit, and one 3-Bedroom/2-Bath unit, providing a diverse range of living options that appeal to a broad tenant base including students, professionals, and families. Each unit is individually metered for gas and electric, helping reduce operating costs while allowing tenants to manage their own utility usage. Residents enjoy the convenience of on-site parking with additional storage, a valuable amenity that enhances tenant appeal and everyday practicality. The location offers outstanding access to nearby amenities including the popular Northridge Fashion Center, which features a wide variety of retail stores, dining options, and entertainment. Tenants are also within close proximity to numerous grocery stores, restaurants, and neighborhood services, making daily errands quick and convenient. Transportation and commuting options are another strong advantage, with the property located a short distance from the Northridge Metrolink Station, providing regional rail service across the greater Los Angeles area. Residents also benefit from easy access to major transportation corridors including the Interstate 405 and the U. S. Route 101, allowing convenient travel throughout the San Fernando Valley and beyond. The property is also located near California State University, Northridge, one of the largest universities in the region, which contributes to strong and consistent rental demand. Additionally, Van Nuys Airport is just a short drive away, adding further convenience for residents and visitors.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 3 × 3-bed/?-bath units multifamily listed at $1.29M.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $705 ($8k/yr) — positive. Per door: $235/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 $1.20M (7.3% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $1.18M (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 6.9% 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: Rents rising (+2.7%/yr); 63 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $12,005/mo this rent would consume 165% of the median local household income ($87k/yr) (locally 2413% 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 $9k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $39k 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 ($1.18M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 5 sale attempts since 12y 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 1959 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
  • Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 7→19/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $1,178,450 (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 1959 — 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.
