Listing remarks MLS
816 Westmount Drive presents an 18-unit multifamily investment opportunity in a highly desirable West Hollywood location. The offering features 2.69% interest-only assumable financing through December 2030, providing strong day-one leveraged cash flow and an approximate cash-on-cash return above 6.73%. The property generates solid in-place income at a 12.22 GRM and 4.57% cap rate, equating to approximately $380,556 per unit and $300 per square foot. A large storage space of approx. 680 square feet can be converted to a ADU. Seller has preliminary plans to legalize the structure as an ADU (buyer to verify), creating additional income potential and long-term value enhancement. Built in 1973, the asset is a well-scaled 1970s multifamily property with practical design, efficient unit layouts, and strong operational fundamentals. The larger unit count offers meaningful economies of scale and the opportunity to implement a strategic renovation program to drive rental repositioning and long-term NOI growth. Favorable assumable financing enhances investor yield and mitigates acquisition financing risk, positioning the property as a compelling value-add opportunity within one of Los Angeles County's most supply-constrained rental submarkets.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 18 × 2-bed/2.1-bath units multifamily listed at $6.85M.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $28k ($340k/yr) — positive. Per door: $2k/mo.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- Meets the 1% rule at list price ($88k rent vs $6.85M).
- Recommended offer: $6.23M (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
- Cap rate 11.3% vs local median 1.5% in West Hollywood — 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 70/100 on livability (#239 in CA) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: schools A+, amenities A+, commute A+; 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.
- Market conditions: Rents soft (-0.5%/yr); 379 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 $88,422/mo this rent would consume 983% of the median local household income ($108k/yr) (locally 2412% 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 $100k of equity ($47k loan paydown + $52k appreciation (0.8% local appreciation)).
- Los Angeles County population projected at +9% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
- At projected returns (0.8% appreciation + 0.0% rent growth), your $1.92M cash investment doubles in ~5 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
- By year 5, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$475k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Negotiation context
- It's been on market 101 days — a 9% lower offer ($6.23M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
- Current owner paid $1.35M; list at $6.85M implies a 407% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
Risks & watch-outs
- Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 8→23/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 101 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 9% 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 1973 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
- Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
- Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
- 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?
- 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.
