THREE PROPERTY TRUST SALE [3674 EMPIRE DR 10 UNITS, 4253 S CENTINELA AVE 6 UNITS, 11817 CULVER BLVD 7 UNITS] 11817 Culver Blvd is a well-maintained 6-unit property plus an additional non-conforming bachelor unit (7 units in total). The property, built between 1952 & 1960, is situated along the residential side of Culver Blvd in the desirable Del Rey neighborhood. This is a Trust Sale offered for the first time in 54 years. The property totals approximately 4,807 square feet of living space on an 8,409 square foot R3-zoned lot and features a unit mix of (1) 2BR/1BA detached front house, (5) 1BR/1BA units, and (1) non-conforming bachelor unit (legal guest room). The detached front house, measuring approximately 781 square feet, has its own private fenced front yard and storage shed. The back structure containing 6 units is approximately 4,026 square feet and includes a tuck under parking area and backyard. Current rents are approximately 97% below current market, representing one of the most compelling value-add opportunities available in today's Westside apartment market. The bachelor unit operates under a RUBS arrangement, and an on-site laundry room generates supplemental income. Ownership has completed meaningful capital improvements including a fully updated electrical main and sub-panels (2023), replacement of the majority of the windows, a 100-gallon water heater, and completion of the required soft-story seismic retrofit (2021). The tuck-under parking configuration presents strong attached ADU potential (Buyer to Verify), and the R3 zoning may support additional density under current state law (Buyer to Verify). Six on-site parking spaces serve the existing resident base. Ideally positioned along Culver Boulevard with immediate 405 Freeway access and less than two miles from the beach, the property sits at the center of Silicon Beach, home to major employers including Google, Amazon Studios, Hulu, and Snap. Plus, Cedars-Sinai's new nine-story Marina del Rey Hospital is slated to open in 2026 just minutes away.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 6 × 1-bed/?-bath units multifamily listed at $1.27M.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $5k ($58k/yr) — positive. Per door: $801/mo.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- Meets the 1% rule at list price ($16k rent vs $1.27M).
- Recommended offer: $1.24M (3.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
- Cap rate 10.8% 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-, 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 soft (-0.1%/yr); 159 active listings in the ZIP; 40 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals at typical pace (median 25d on market — plan ~3-4 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); high-income renter base; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
- At $15,573/mo this rent would consume 164% of the median local household income ($114k/yr) (locally 3174% 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 $38k 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 40 days — a 3% lower offer ($1.24M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
- Current owner paid $14k; list at $1.27M implies a 9007% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1952 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
- Climate carrying-cost: major flood risk; extreme-heat days projected 7→20/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 40 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 3% 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 1952 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
- Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
- 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?
- 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.
