Listing remarks MLS
We are pleased to present for sale Property 4 of 6 within a newly launched 47-unit multifamily portfolio. This well-positioned multifamily asset features 11 spacious two-story, townhome-style units, each offering 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, an attractive layout that continues to appeal to long-term tenants. Situated on a prominent corner location, the property benefits from strong street presence and visibility, and it is being offered for the first time in 13 years, presenting a rare opportunity in a tightly held submarket. The all-electric building sits on a large 16,417 square foot lot, providing operational efficiency along with long-term upside potential. With solid in-place income and approximately 39% rental upside, investors have a clear value-add opportunity through strategic rent increases. Additional features include on-site parking, secured entry, private outdoor spaces in select units, and an on-site laundry facility generating supplemental income. The property also offers convenient access to the 60, 605, 710, and 5 freeways, enhancing its appeal to commuters. Subject only to AB 1482 and not local rent control, this asset provides a favorable regulatory environment, making it a strong opportunity to acquire a stable, income-producing property with meaningful upside. As part of a six-property, 47-unit portfolio, investors also have the flexibility to purchase individually or as part of a larger investment strategy. Properties do not have to be sold together. * * Check out the property video link.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 11 × 2.0-bed/1.5-bath units multifamily listed at $2.64M.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $51 ($608/yr) — positive. Per door: $5/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 $2.19M (17.0% below list).
- Recommended offer: $2.19M (17.0% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
- Cap rate 6.3% vs local median 2.3% in Montebello — 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 58/100 on livability (#693 in CA) — a working-class tenant base; expect higher turnover. Strengths: employment B; Watch: schools D, amenities D, crime F.
- Montebello Unified (suburban): math 17% / reading 32% proficiency, ranked #419 of 517 in CA (top 81%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover; 76% free/reduced lunch — lower-income household profile, screen leases tightly.
- Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+4.9%/yr); 167 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 $21,901/mo this rent would consume 330% of the median local household income ($80k/yr) (locally 3045% 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 $18k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $79k 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 66 days — a 6% lower offer ($2.48M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
- 2 sale attempts since 14y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $262k (9%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
- Current owner paid $1.50M; list at $2.64M implies a 75% 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.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 66 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 17% 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?
- Built in 1962 — 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?
- 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?
- 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?
- 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.
