Investor read
This is a 12 × 1-bed/1-bath units multifamily listed at $3.85M.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $7k ($84k/yr) — positive. Per door: $585/mo.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($39k rent vs $3.85M).
It's been on market 104 days — a 9% lower offer ($3.50M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $3.50M (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
In year one you build about $56k of equity ($27k loan paydown + $29k appreciation (0.8% local appreciation)).
Location reads 70/100 on livability (#239 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: West Hollywood Elementary (307 students, 30% FRL); Hubert Howe Bancroft Middle (446 students, 92% FRL); Fairfax Senior High (math 40% / reading 61%, grade D+, #324 of 1,170 statewide, top 28%, 1,632 students, 81% FRL) — zoned schools at 68% FRL track the district average.
Watch-outs: built in 1959 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: Rents soft (-0.5%/yr); 384 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
Los Angeles County population projected at +9% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
2 sale attempts since 3y 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.
Current owner paid $1.07M; list at $3.85M implies a 258% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
At projected returns (0.8% appreciation + 0.0% rent growth), your $1.08M cash investment doubles in ~8 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 5, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$267k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 8→24/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 104 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 1959 — 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?
