Type: Venice Beach Triplex
Area: Venice
Address: 725 Vernon Ave
Sq Ft: 1,440 approx sq ft
Bedrooms: 3 Units - All 1 Bedrm & 1 Bath
Price: $649,000
THIS PROPERTY SOLD FOR $655,000.00 - April 2004.

This charming triplex is located 2 blocks west of Lincoln Blvd and about 9 blocks to world famous Venice Beach. This is a great owner-user property for someone looking to get in to their first property. Live in this triplex and collect the rents to help pay your mortgage.

This 1 Story wood frame/stucco property consists of three 1 bedroom 1 bath side-by-side attached units and a three car detached garage. The property was built in 1952 and has been updated with a newer roof. The building has approximately 1,440 square feet, about 480 square feet per unit. The lot is approximately 4,791 square feet.

The total monthly rents total $2,160. The total annual rents are $25,920.
Potential garage income is $450 per month. Live in one of the units and get help with the mortgage from the other two units or buy the property as an investment.

Here are some potentials numbers for an owner user if he or she was to occupy a unit and rent the other units out and put 20% down.

Potential Garage Income =$450 per month
Rents for other two units =$1575 per month
Total Projected Income = $2,025 per month

Total Loan Payment
1st Loan 5.75%
Plus Taxes & Insurance =$3,791 per month

Less projected rental income = -$2,205

TOTAL NET PAYMENT = $1,586

The good thing about this projection is that you can get a “stated-income” loan for this property. Also known as an EZ-Qualifier loan, the bank is going to rely solely on your decent credit and your 20% down payment. No tax returns or check stubs need. You should have a minimum FICO score of 620 for this particular program.

There is a lot of upside on the rents for this property. The rents are currently at about 60% of market value. I project that each of the units should rent for about $1250 per month or combined $3600. This is a good property for the owner user who can live in the property and then fix up and raise the rents as the tenants turn over. For more information please call Derrick Ruiz at (310)482-2194.

This property consists of 3 stucco and wood-frame bungalows. Each bungalow has separate patios, refinished hardwood floors, new kitchens, new wall heaters, new bathrooms, new electrical, new plumbing, new roofs, fresh paint, and attached laundry sheds for washer-dryers. The owner has just completed the remodels as of September 2003. The larger end bungalow would make a perfect owner-user unit while he or she collects rents from the other two units. The owner has also poured new concrete patios, installed new landscaping with automatic sprinklers, installed motion detector security lighting, installed new sewer lines, gas lines, water lines, and separate water meters, and painted the exteriors. In addition to the 2 Car garage there is an uncovered parking pad off the alley for another car. All of the utilities are separately metered including the water so this will reduce the carrying cost for the new owner. Even the automatic sprinklers are metered to the tenants. Any buyer purchasing the property will have to do very little if any work to the property.

The property was originally built in 1953. All of the units are currently vacant and will be delivered vacant. The projected rents are as follows: The largest owners unit is projected to rent for about $1850. This unit is approximately 700 square feet. The smaller units are projected to rent for about $1650 per month. They are approximately 600 square feet. Garage rents should be about $300 per month. Total projected monthly income is $5,450. Total projected annual income is $65,400. Projected gross rent multiplier is 14.7. Projected payment with 20% down payment ($189,800) and an 80% loan ($759,200) at 5.75%, amortized for 30 years is $4409. With taxes and insurance the total projected payment is $5,497. Not including gardener or repairs this property just about breaks even. If the buyer occupies the main unit, then the buyer should pay about $2,047 monthly to live there (includes using one of the parking spots).

This is a great owner/user or investment property in a good Venice Beach location. Live in the large unit and collect rents, or rent them out for cash flow. Perhaps an owner can use them for artist studios. Please see the Visual Tour on my Website for more information and multiple photos of this property. Please call me for more information or for a private viewing.
