Comprising six units across approximately 5,958 square feet on a 6,075-square-foot parcel, the property represents a low-maintenance, value-add opportunity with meaningful income growth potential through both traditional renovations and strategic property enhancements. The site's corner positioning, visibility, and location within a strong infill market support stable occupancy and long-term investor appeal. The asset features a highly functional and balanced unit mix consisting of three two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath units averaging roughly 991 square feet each and two one-bedroom, one-bath units ranging from approximately 694 to 773 square feet. These larger floor plans cater to family-oriented and long-term tenants, driving lower turnover and strong retention while allowing for substantial rent growth upon natural vacancy. Current in-place rents are estimated to trail neighborhood market levels by approximately 36%, offering a clear value creation pathway through market-standard interior upgrades such as flooring, finishes, appliance packages, and bath refresheswithout requiring a heavy repositioning effort. In addition to standard renovation potential, the property offers a compelling long-term upside through the possible conversion of existing garage spaces into one or two Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), subject to City of Los Angeles review and permitting. This potential ADU addition provides an opportunity to unlock new revenue streams and further enhance yield while preserving operational simplicity. The combination of under-market rents and physical adaptability makes Hartsook an ideal candidate for investors seeking multiple levers of growth.In addition to standard renovation potential, the property offers a compelling long-term upside through the possible conversion of existing garage spaces into one or two Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), subject to City of Los Angeles review and permitting.
