The Opportunity
An exceptional entry point or portfolio expansion into one of Los Angeles County’s most densely populated and historically low-vacancy rental markets. Located at 4439 East 52nd Place, this stabilized 5-unit asset offers investors a rare combination of immediate cash flow and clear, executable programmatic upside.

Unrivaled Unit Mix & Footprint
Unlike typical dense submarket assets burdened by cramped studios or micro-units, this property boasts a highly desirable, uniform unit mix of five expansive 1-bedroom / 1-bathroom layouts. Each unit spans approximately 737 square feet—vastly exceeding the submarket average of 550 square feet. Adding immense tenant value and premium revenue potential, every unit features a dedicated garage space, effectively solving the area’s most notorious pain point: secure parking and storage. The property sits on an expansive, low-maintenance 8,566 sq. ft. corner lot configured as single-story structures with no tenants living above or below, resulting in lower turnover and reduced long-term maintenance costs.

Strategic Value-Add & Rental Upside
The asset is separately metered for gas and electricity (5 gas / 5 electric meters), keeping operational expenses lean. While the property functions cleanly in its standard condition, a significant delta exists between current legacy rents (~$1,300/mo) and achievable market levels ($1,850 - $1,975/mo). By executing minor interior cosmetic turns (modern flooring, updated fixtures, updated paint) upon natural tenant turnover, a new owner can immediately capture an estimated 30% to 40%+ lift in gross revenue, optimizing the property's cap rate and driving substantial forced equity.
***
Prime Location & Infrastructure
Positioned perfectly for working professionals and families alike, the property boasts excellent walkability (Walk Score: 8.3/10) and is located just 0.1 miles from Maywood Elementary. Tenants enjoy rapid, seamless transit access to massive regional employment hubs, including Downtown Los Angeles, Commerce, and the Vernon industrial corridor, guaranteeing a permanent, deep pool of qualified replacement renters
