Overview

This three-unit residential income property at 1438 E 20th Street features a front 4-bedroom, 2-bath unit that is currently tenant occupied, along with two rear units that are vacant and move-in ready. The rear units consist of a 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit and a 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit, both updated with upgraded kitchens, remodeled bathrooms, new flooring, and fresh interior paint. The layout provides separate entrances and functional spacing between units, supporting privacy and day-to-day usability.

The property sits on a 6,483 sq ft LARD2 lot in Los Angeles. It is described as centrally located near schools, shopping, major freeways, and public transportation, which can be a practical fit for tenant demand and long-term occupancy flexibility.

For an owner-user, the configuration allows you to live in the front unit while generating income from the two rear units, which are ready for placement. For an investor, the vacant status of both rear units can simplify initial leasing activity, since the interiors have been updated. The listing also notes potential future development considerations on the LARD2 lot, with the buyer to verify all feasibility and approvals.
