Investor read
This is a 11 × 3-bed/?-bath units multifamily listed at $2.53M. Condition is rated poor.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $11k ($134k/yr) — positive. Per door: $1k/mo.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($36k rent vs $2.53M).
It's been on market 155 days — a 12% lower offer ($2.22M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $2.22M (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $17k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $76k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
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: Seventy-Fifth Street Elementary (770 students, 96% FRL); Mary Mcleod Bethune Middle (858 students, 98% FRL); John C. Fremont Senior High (math 19% / reading 44%, grade F, #696 of 1,170 statewide, top 60%, 2,027 students, 98% FRL) — zoned schools average 98% FRL vs 67% district-wide (30 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Market conditions: Rents flat; 194 active listings in the ZIP; 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.
4 sale attempts since 23y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $400k (14%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 0.1% rent growth), your $707k cash investment doubles in ~9 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Cap rate 11.6% 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.
At $3,317/mo per unit this rent would consume 71% of the median local household income ($56k/yr) (locally 16% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 155 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% 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?
Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
Built in 1960 — 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?
