Listing remarks MLS
We are pleased to offer for sale 328 North Alexandria Avenue, an 8-unit apartment property located just north of Beverly Boulevard in the East Hollywood submarket of Los Angeles, bordering Koreatown to the south. The subject property offers easy access to Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, and the Mid-Wilshire corridor, with the Metro Red Line's Vermont/Beverly Station located within walking distance. East Hollywood is one of the most centrally located and culturally diverse neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Residents enjoy a dense mix of restaurants, cafes, and retail along Vermont Avenue and Melrose Avenue, with Thai Town, Little Armenia, and the dining and nightlife corridors of Koreatown all within close reach. Situated on a 6,900-square-foot parcel, the property is comprised of 3 studios and 5 one-bedroom units totaling 3,833 rentable square feet. Built in 1929, the asset reflects the classic architectural character of the neighborhood. The property has 53% remaining rental upside achievable through interior renovations and exterior curb-appeal improvements. 328 North Alexandria Avenue offers investors an opportunity to acquire a value-add asset in one of the most central infill submarkets of Los Angeles. The combination of in-place cash flow and substantial mark-to-market potential make 328 North Alexandria Avenue a compelling acquisition opportunity.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 4-bed/8.0-bath multifamily listed at $1.20M.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $3k ($38k/yr) — positive.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- Meets the 1% rule at list price ($14k rent vs $1.20M).
- Recommended offer: $1.16M (3.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
- Cap rate 9.5% 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 (-1.7%/yr); 137 active listings in the ZIP; 4 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals lingering (median 44d on market — plan ~5-8 weeks vacancy on turnover, expect pricing pressure); 50% of comp listings sitting > 30 days — soft ceiling on asking rent; 19,697 units permitted in Los Angeles County in 2024 (9,426 in 5+ unit buildings).
- At $14,468/mo this rent would consume 268% of the median local household income ($65k/yr) (locally 6512% 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 $8k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $36k 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 57 days — a 3% lower offer ($1.16M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
- 5 sale attempts since 7y 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.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1929 — 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.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 57 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 3% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
- Built in 1929 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
- 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?
- 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.
