Strong In-Place Cash Flow with Additional Upside Potential
1019 Lewis Avenue presents the opportunity to acquire a substantially renovated 16-unit multifamily property offering strong in-place
cash flow, a stable income profile and additional rental upside in a highly walkable north Downtown Long Beach location. Offered at
$4,100,000, the property generates a 6.54% current cap rate, with upside to a 7.22% market cap rate as rents move toward market levels.
Approximately $400,000 in Recent Capital Improvements
Ownership has invested approximately $400,000 in capital improvements, significantly reducing near-term capital expenditure requirements for a new investor. Fifteen of the property's 16 units have been fully renovated, while major building improvements include a new roof on one building, a newly sealed roof on the second building, a new 400-amp main electrical panel, upgraded subpanels and majority copper plumbing.
Desirable Two-Bedroom Unit Mix with ~7% Rental Upside
The property features a highly desirable unit mix consisting of (14) 2BD/1BA units and (2) 1BD/1BA units. Current rents average $2,168 per unit, compared with projected market rents of ~$2,325, representing approximately 7% overall rental upside. Scheduled rental income has the potential to increase from $416,300 to $446,400 annually as rents are brought toward market levels.
Stable Income Profile with Majority Subsidized Tenancy
The property benefits from a stable income profile, with the majority of residents participating in HACLA or HACLB housing assistance programs. This provides an attractive combination of dependable rental income and continued organic upside as below-market rents are adjusted over time.
Two Newly Constructed ADUs with Additional Development Potential
Two newly constructed ADUs have already been incorporated into the property, increasing the asset's income-producing unit count while demonstrating the property's ability to accommodate additional density. Ownership has identified the potential for additional ADU development, providing a future investor with another avenue for long-term value creation beyond the existing rental upside.
Compelling Current Yield with Upside to a 7.22% Market Cap Rate
At the $4,100,000 offering price, 1019 Lewis generates $268,326 in current NOI, equating to a 6.54% current cap rate and 9.52 GRM. At projected market rents, NOI increases to ~$296,092, supporting a 7.22% market cap rate and 8.90 GRM. The combination of strong day-one yield and ~$27,766 in additional NOI potential provides investors with meaningful current income without relying on an extensive renovation or repositioning program.
Highly Walkable Location in North Downtown
Located just north of Downtown Long Beach, 1019 Lewis provides convenient access to the city's employment centers, shopping, dining, transit and waterfront amenities. The property boasts a 91 Walk Score, enhancing its appeal to renters seeking an urban, centrally located lifestyle while positioning the asset to benefit from continued investment and development throughout Central Long Beach.
