Listing remarks MLS

We are pleased to present the opportunity to acquire 6027 Barton Avenue, an eight-unit apartment community located in the heart of Hollywood. Ideally situated just south of Santa Monica Boulevard and east of Vine Street, the property lies in one of Los Angeles' most densely populated neighborhoods. Residents enjoy easy access to Hollywood's dynamic nightlife, trendy retail and coffee shops, and an array of entertainment options. Comprised entirely of one-bedroom units, 6027 Barton Avenue has been well-maintained by the current ownership and offers significant value-add potential. With 55% remaining rental upside through unit renovations, a new owner can capitalize on the ongoing gentrification of the area and position the property for strong future returns. An additional benefit is the property's development flexibility. Situated on a 6,500-square-foot lot zoned LAR3-1XL within a Tier 2 TOC, the site offers potential for future redevelopment. The asset is clean, well-managed, and exhibits minimal deferred maintenance reflecting attentive ownership. With its prime Hollywood location, development upside, and value-add opportunity, 6027 Barton Avenue represents a compelling acquisition opportunity. PLEASE DO NOT WALK THE PROPERTY OR DISRUPT TENANTS.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 3 × 3-bed/?-bath units multifamily listed at $1.45M.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $685 ($8k/yr) — positive. Per door: $228/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 $1.42M (2.2% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $1.28M (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 6.9% 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; 87 active listings in the ZIP; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $14,186/mo this rent would consume 277% of the median local household income ($61k/yr) (locally 4038% 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 $10k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $44k 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 315 days — a 12% lower offer ($1.28M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 5 sale attempts since 5y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $100k (6%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1930 — 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.
Recommended offer $1,276,000 (12.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 315 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 1930 — 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. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
