257 W 42ndLos Angeles, CA 90037

For Sale

$600,000

Smart Buyer Rebate $2,500

A truly rare opportunity to acquire a fully vacant FOURPLEX property in south Los Angeles is now available. Diamond in the rough to call and make your own as this property has so many options to choose from. Perfect for a owner user. Incredibly versatile if you want to buy and hold for the most experienced investor. Front adjoining units are sizeable 1BED/BATH EACH, but can be reconfigured into 2 BEDS to generate higher rents. Fully separated back single units will be delivered vacant upon close of escrow that can be revitalized, maybe add square feet? The property is a cosmetic fixer, but the right buyer can really make this property into something extraordinary. Perfect if you have a large family and need the space, as well as ideal if you need mother-in law quarters, already built in. The possibilities are truly endless.
