High-Yield 14-Bedroom Co-Living Portfolio Near USC & DTLA.
This 14-bedroom multi-family portfolio offers an exceptional footprint for investors targeting high-density housing and co-living strategies in Los Angeles. Comprising four large-scale units distributed across two detached buildings, the property provides an efficient bedroom-to-unit ratio situated minutes from the University of Southern California (USC), Downtown LA, and major transit corridors.
Unlike standard modern speculative builds, the asset provides a durable foundation tailored for high-occupancy rental use:
• Front Building (Historic Integrity): Verified as built in 1904 by master builder Frederick Rufus Black as his personal residence. This structure contains two massive 4-Bedroom units (one 4-bed/1-bath and one 4-bed/2-bath), featuring the expansive spatial layouts and structural character typical of the era.
• Back Building (Modern Turnkey): Comprises two 3-Bedroom, 1-Bathroom units, which were completely remodeled from the studs up in 2022.
The property delivers immediate, stable cash flow with highly predictable operational overhead:
• Front Units (Two 4-Bed Layouts): Currently generating a combined $4,000/month. (much lower than the market rate).
• Back Units (Two 3-Bed Layouts): Rented at $2,600/month each ($5,200/month combined).
• Total Current Gross Income: $9,200/month ($110,400/annually).
Operational expenses are minimized through separate utility metering, with 4 separate electric meters and 4 separate gas meters allowing tenants to handle their own usage overhead directly. The expansive parcel also accommodates up to 8 secure parking spaces, a premium asset in the DTLA-adjacent rental market. While the property provides immediate yield, current rental structures present the next owner with clear pro-forma upside as units naturally cycle in a high-demand rental corridor.
