Listing remarks MLS
Following its second price reduction, 210 W. 43rd Pl. is now offered at $3,600,000, or $120,000 per unit, positioning a 30-unit asset at a basis that now sits below several recent sales in the immediate area. At the current pricing, the property operates at a 6.81% CAP and 8.56 GRM on in-place rents, combining scale and day-one income in a way that is increasingly difficult to find at this level. The property consists of (30) studio units originally built in 1926. The configuration is straightforward, with a consistent unit mix that simplifies renovation planning and ongoing management. Several units have already been updated with tile flooring, improved cabinetry, gas stoves, wall-mounted A/C units, and ceiling fans, providing a clear path for continued interior upgrades across the remaining units. Two units are currently vacant, allowing a buyer to begin renovations and lease-up immediately and establish updated rent levels early in the hold period. The existing layouts provide practical living space with natural light, creating a repeatable framework for unit turns without requiring reconfiguration. Located in Historic South-Central, 210 W. 43rd Pl. sits within close proximity to USC, Exposition Park, the LA Memorial Coliseum, BMO Stadium, and The Shrine Auditorium. These long-standing institutional anchors continue to support consistent housing demand tied to education, healthcare, and event-driven employment. The property also benefits from direct access to Vermont Ave. and Western Ave. , connecting residents to Downtown Los Angeles and surrounding employment corridors. At $120,000 per unit with a 6.81% CAP and 8.56 GRM on current rents, 210 W. 43rd Pl. offers 30 units of scale at a basis that now sits below recent comparable sales, with a clear path to improving operations through a consistent renovation approach.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 3 × ?-bed/1-bath units multifamily listed at $3.60M.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $-17k ($-204k/yr) — negative. Per door: $-6k/mo.
- To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $642k (82.2% below list).
- To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $762k (78.8% below list).
- Recommended offer: $642k (82.2% below list) — sets the bar for cash-flow.
- Cap rate 0.6% vs local median 2.1% in Los Angeles — below-typical yield; the buyer is paying a premium for something (appreciation thesis, condition, location) that the cap rate doesn't capture.
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 (+1.7%/yr); 99 active listings in the ZIP; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
- At $7,624/mo this rent would consume 159% of the median local household income ($58k/yr) (locally 4200% 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 $25k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $108k 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 156 days — a 12% lower offer ($3.17M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
- 7 sale attempts since 20y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $350k (9%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
- Current owner paid $1.60M; list at $3.60M implies a 125% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1926 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
- Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 7→22/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for the listing agent
- What do current leases actually rent for vs. the listed asking? Can we see a recent rent roll and the last 12 months of T-12 income?
- It's been on market 156 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 82% 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 1926 — 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 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?
- The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
- 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.
