About 1534 Shenandoah Street
The property being offered boasts strong in-place financials, highlighted by an attractive CAP rate of 5.33%. The diligent maintenance and upgrades carried out by the owners have consistently increased rents and enhanced the property's income. Their exceptional care and style in turning units as tenants moved out have demonstrated significant potential for further growth through similar strategies. Additionally, the costly and complex earthquake soft-story retrofit and the addition of four ADUs have further enhanced the property's appeal. A new owner can continue to capitalize on the utility bill-back potential as units are turned. Currently, 13 out of 20 units (65%) are on this program, which allows for a fair distribution of utility expenses among tenants based on usage. This beneficial strategy can help transfer utility costs to tenants, thereby increasing the NOI and cash flow over time. The property features a desirable unit mix, comprising eleven 1+1 units, four 2+2 units, one 2+1.5 unit, three 1+1 ADUs, and one Studio+1 ADU. This variety diversifies risk, appeals to a broader range of tenants, and enhances the property's long-term value, ensuring a more stable and profitable investment.
