The LAAA Team of Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present this price reduction for 8991 Dorothy Avenue located in South Gate, CA, where there is no LA rent control (only subject to AB-1482). Built in 1947 and recently renovated in 2021, the 3,317 square foot property sits on a 0.18 acre lot, and it is comprised of a 3 Bed / 1 Bath House in front and a 4 unit building at the back of the lot with all 1 Bed / 1 Bath Units.

The sellers have spent the past year renovating the property inside and out. All 5 units have been upgraded as well as the entire exterior of the property, which presents the buyer an excellent opportunity to add value add without any significant deferred maintenance. Without LA Rent control, the buyer will be able to raise rents over the coming years at a faster rate, allowing quicker access to the estimated 17% upside potential in rents. Additionally, the Buyer would be wise to consider converting the one car garage in the middle of the lot to an ADU, which would add a significant amount of value at a lower cost than ground up construction ADUs.
