Strategic Assessment
Key Advantages
- •Recently renovated, offering a move-in ready condition for tenants or owner-occupants.
- •Multi-family property provides versatility for various investment strategies, including rental or house hacking.
- •Strong year-over-year appreciation in the Lovejoy neighborhood suggests good potential for equity growth.
- •Equipped with new AC units and upgraded thermostats for improved comfort and efficiency.
Considerations
- •The estimated total gross rent of $1,110 for a 6-bedroom, 2-unit property appears significantly low compared to market potential for multi-family rentals in the area.
- •Days on market have increased compared to the previous year, potentially indicating a slower selling pace.
- •Low Walk Score (0) and Transit Score (20) suggest reliance on personal transportation.
- •The property's price is higher than the neighborhood's median sale price.
Due Diligence
- •Verify market-rate rents for two separate units in the immediate vicinity, as the estimated rent seems exceptionally low for a multi-family property of this size.
- •Investigate local permit history for any recent renovation work to ensure all updates were done with proper permits and inspections.
