Listing remarks MLS

We are pleased to present 3115 Ivy Street, an 8 unit apartment community located in the highly desirable Culver City/ Palms neighborhood of West Los Angeles. Built in 1964, the property offers approximately 6,038 square feet of rentable living area on a6,157squarefoot lot, providing investors with a well located and stable asset in one of the Westside's most consistently strong rental markets. The building features a practical and appealing unit mix, with bright interiors, efficient layouts, and the long term durability associated with classic midcentury construction. These characteristics support steady tenant demand and create a reliable operating environment for ownership, while still offering clear opportunities for future modernization and value enhancement. 3115 Ivy Street benefits from an exceptional location just steps away from Culver City, placing residents near major employment centers such as Culver City's expanding tech and creative office district, Sony Studios, and the broader Westside job base. The property is surrounded by a wide selection of dining, retail, and neighborhood conveniences along Venice Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard. Connectivity is another key advantage, with close access to the I10 and I405 Freeways as well as the Metro E Line, allowing for convenient travel throughout Greater Los Angeles. Situated within a supply constrained, transit oriented, and high demand rental pocket, 3115 Ivy Street represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a well maintained multifamily asset with stable in place income and meaningful potential for long term appreciation.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

• This is a 8 × 1-bed/1-bath units multifamily listed at $2.40M.

Deal economics

• At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($27k/yr) — positive. Per door: $279/mo.
• The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
• To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $2.11M (11.8% below list).
• Recommended offer: $2.11M (11.8% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
• Cap rate 7.4% 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 flat; 121 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 $21,123/mo this rent would consume 240% of the median local household income ($106k/yr) (locally 4507% 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 $17k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $72k 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 95 days — a 9% lower offer ($2.18M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
• Current owner paid $175k; list at $2.40M implies a 1269% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.

Risks & watch-outs

• 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 $2,112,300 (11.8% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

1. It's been on market 95 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% 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 1964 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
5. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
6. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
7. 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?
8. 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?
9. 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?
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
