Listing remarks MLS

410 Witmer Street is a 20-unit, wood-frame building with a raised foundation and twelve (12) parking spots, located in a rapidly evolving submarket of Los Angeles, just west of Downtown Los Angeles. The offering represents a compelling value-add opportunity with strong in-place cash flow and significant rental upside, with a new roof and recently upgraded electrical that makes it ideally suited for investors seeking both yield and long-term appreciation. The property consists of a two-story, wood-frame building with a raised foundation, totaling 7,999 rentable square feet on a 9,072 square foot LACW-zoned mid-block lot. Originally constructed in 1928, the asset features a unit mix of twenty (20) studio units and benefits from twelve (12) uncovered on-site tandem parking spaces, an exceptional parking ratio for the area and a meaningful competitive advantage in this dense urban submarket. 410 Witmer Street is currently operating at a 7.64 GRM and a 6.55% cap rate on in-place rents, with a clear path to increased cash flow through a strategic value-add program. By implementing interior renovations, improving operational efficiencies, and capturing mark-to-market rent potential, a new owner can achieve a projected 6.39 GRM and 10.28% cap rate upon stabilization. Situated near the intersection of Witmer Street and W 3rd Street, the property offers excellent connectivity to the 101, 110, and 10 freeways, as well as multiple Metro transit lines. The location benefits from its proximity to high-demand rental neighborhoods including Echo Park, Silver Lake, Elysian Heights, and Koreatown, all of which continue to experience strong tenant demand driven by their access to employment centers, lifestyle amenities, and cultural hubs. 410 Witmer Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-located, income-producing asset with a favorable parking ratio and a clear roadmap to unlocking additional value in one of Los Angeles' most dynamic rental corridors.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 20 × 2-bed/?-bath units multifamily listed at $2.00M.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $21k ($254k/yr) — positive. Per door: $1k/mo.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($43k rent vs $2.00M).
  • Recommended offer: $1.94M (3.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 19.0% 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 (-1.9%/yr); 121 active listings in the ZIP; 1 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $43,195/mo this rent would consume 983% of the median local household income ($53k/yr) (locally 4819% 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 $14k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $60k 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.
  • At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 0.0% rent growth), your $559k cash investment doubles in ~3 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 44 days — a 3% lower offer ($1.94M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 5 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 $1.48M; 35% above their basis — modest negotiation headroom, anchor on the comps not their cost.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1928 — 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.
Recommended offer $1,935,150 (3.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 44 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 3% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
  3. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
  4. Built in 1928 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  5. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  6. 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?
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
