Listing remarks MLS
In the same family for 73 years and proudly standing tall for nearly 100 years in the highly acclaimed Beverly Grove neighborhood, this pedigree Italian Renaissance-style fourplex is both a testament and a love letter to early Los Angeles architecture. Designed by Architect Horatio Bishop, most notable as a leading pioneer architect of Cathay Circle, the property boasts a commanding yet romantic curb appeal that is further enhanced by its perfect positioning on a tree-lined street, full of character rich historic properties. Available for the first time in decades, the current stewards of the property have undergone a meticulous, multi-year restoration, striking the impeccable balance of original historical charm and modern amenities that today's tenants desire. Upon arrival, an elegant entry displays period-correct terracotta & hand-painted tiles, original lights, historic doors, and rod iron details throughout. Comprising four generously sized two-bedroom, one-bathroom units, each offers charming kitchens, Art Deco bathrooms, hardwood floors, and stunning casement windows with alluring features such as in-unit washer/dryer hookups and patios or balconies. Other capital improvements include a copper re-pipe and newer interior & exterior paint. Boasting a walk-score of 80, tenants of the community will enjoy nearby amenities such as Whole Foods, The Grove, LACMA, The Peterson Museum, Beverly Center, and & The El Rey Theater. The location also offers close proximity to public transportation, including the future Metro Purple Line Extension, which will provide access to both the West Side and Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). The offering at 6366 Orange Street is a legacy transfer decades in the making.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 4 × 2-bed/1.0-bath units multifamily listed at $2.00M.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $-1k ($-12k/yr) — negative. Per door: $-252/mo.
- To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $1.85M (7.3% below list).
- To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $1.62M (18.9% below list).
- Recommended offer: $1.62M (18.9% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
- Cap rate 5.7% 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-, 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: Hancock Park Elementary (510 students, 32% FRL); John Burroughs Middle (reading 39%, 1,373 students, 82% 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 65% FRL track the district average.
- Market conditions: Rents flat; 122 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 $16,220/mo this rent would consume 188% of the median local household income ($103k/yr) (locally 2888% 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 $139k of equity ($14k loan paydown + $125k appreciation (6.2% local appreciation)).
- Los Angeles County population projected at +9% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
- By year 2, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$222k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Negotiation context
- It's been on market 65 days — a 6% lower offer ($1.88M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
- 3 sale attempts 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 1929 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
- Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 7→21/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 65 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 19% 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 1929 — 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.
