Listing remarks MLS

Prime value-add four-unit investment opportunity in the heart of highly sought-after Highland Park. Located at 5048–5050 E. Echo Street, this charming Spanish Revival-style property offers strong current income, significant upside potential, and an exceptional opportunity to invest in one of Northeast Los Angeles’ most vibrant and rapidly growing neighborhoods. The property consists of four spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom units totaling approximately 3,648 square feet, with two units situated on each level. Each unit offers a functional floor plan with generous living areas, abundant natural light, and classic architectural character. Recent improvements include upgraded plumbing and newer windows, adding long-term value and reducing future maintenance concerns. Currently tenant-occupied with long-term residents, the property generates approximately $3,700 per month in rental income. Existing rents are below current market levels, presenting a compelling opportunity for future rental growth and repositioning potential (buyer to verify). Situated on a desirable LARD1.5 zoned lot, the property also features four detached garages located at the rear of the property, creating excellent potential for ADU and/or Jr. ADU conversion to further maximize income and value (buyer to verify with the City of Los Angeles). Ideally positioned near the vibrant York Boulevard and Figueroa Street corridors, the property is surrounded by Highland Park’s popular restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, nightlife, art venues, and local parks. Convenient access to the Metro A Line and major freeways including the 110, 5, 134, and 210 allows for easy commuting to Downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, South Pasadena, Glendale, and surrounding areas. With strong rental demand, desirable zoning, classic architectural appeal, and substantial upside potential, this is an outstanding opportunity for investors seeking to enhance cash flow and build long-term equity in a premier Los Angeles rental market. Drive-by only. Please do not disturb occupants.

🏷️ Possibly a rental listed for sale. The $698,000 price doesn't fit this home's estimated sale value (~$1,396,985) and the remarks read like a rental — treat the cards below with caution.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 2 × 2-bed/?-bath units multifamily listed at $698k. Condition is rated poor.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $3k ($39k/yr) — positive. Per door: $2k/mo.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($9k rent vs $698k).
  • Recommended offer: $614k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 11.9% 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-, 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: Aldama Elementary (371 students, 73% FRL); Luther Burbank Middle (904 students, 86% FRL); Valley Academy of Arts And Sciences (math 22% / reading 52%, grade F, #578 of 1,170 statewide, top 51%, 868 students, 64% FRL).
  • Market conditions: Rents rising (+1.3%/yr); 193 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 $4,660/mo per unit this rent would consume 59% of the median local household income ($95k/yr) — 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 $5k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $21k 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.
  • At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 1.3% rent growth), your $195k cash investment doubles in ~7 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 128 days — a 12% lower offer ($614k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • Current owner paid $34k; list at $698k implies a 1953% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1924 — 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 $614,240 (12.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 128 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. Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
  5. Built in 1924 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  6. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  7. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  8. 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?
  9. 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?
  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.

    Prime value-add four-unit investment opportunity in the heart of highly sought-after Highland Park. Located at 5048–5050 E. Echo Street, this charming Spanish Revival-style property offers strong current income, significant upside potential, and an exceptional opportunity to invest in one of Northeast Los Angeles’ most vibrant and rapidly growing neighborhoods. The property consists of four spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom units totaling approximately 3,648 square feet, with two units situated on each level. Each unit offers a functional floor plan with generous living areas, abundant natural light, and classic architectural character. Recent improvements include upgraded plumbing and newer windows, adding long-term value and reducing future maintenance concerns. Currently tenant-occupied with long-term residents, the property generates approximately $3,700 per month in rental income. Existing rents are below current market levels, presenting a compelling opportunity for future rental growth and repositioning potential (buyer to verify).

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.
