Description
Equity Union Commercial is pleased to present an Exceptional 10-Unit Value-Add Opportunity in South Los Angeles boasting a 7.01% Cap Rate with significant rental upside potential. Located at 536 W. 48th Street, this charming 1925 Spanish-style courtyard apartment community consists of 10 units (8 one-bedroom/one-bath units and 2 studio units). The property has undergone significant improvements, including a new roof, copper plumbing throughout, fresh exterior paint, and renovations to 7 of the 10 units. Tenants benefit from separately metered gas and electricity, while city-provided trash service helps minimize operating expenses. Investors will appreciate the strong in-place cash flow combined with substantial upside potential, as current rents are estimated to be approximately 22% below market. The property's layout features a gated courtyard setting with dual front and rear access for each unit, creating an attractive living environment for tenants. Ideally situated near USC, Exposition Park, BMO Stadium, the LA Memorial Coliseum, the California Science Center, major retail corridors, and convenient access to the 110 Freeway, the location offers a deep and stable renter pool. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained multifamily asset with proven operational improvements, rental upside, and long-term growth potential in one of Los Angeles' most active rental markets.
