Los Feliz Duplex | 1031 & Accelerated Depreciation Ready
A rare, tax-efficient investment opportunity before year-end - great for investment or as primary residence as cost of ownership is less than cost of renting.
No hype here, just the facts. The photos tell the story. For a closer look, ask for a virtual or guided video tour with the owner.
This property is a cash-flowing, tax-smart property for buyers who understand how to use real estate strategically, especially with 100% bonus depreciation back on the table under the recently passed tax Bill.
Why this property makes sense:
* Cost of ownership is less than cost of renting - projected net monthly cost with a 20% down payment is $6,967/month (ask broker for calcs - see disclaimer below).
* Accelerated depreciation is back. Capture bonus depreciation before year-end and maximize deductible paper losses.
* $400,000+ in estimated first-year deductions per cost segregation study (draft study available) potentially offsetting other passive income.
* Built-in flexibility: you can owner-occupy one unit or rent both and hold for income - both with distinct tax advantages.
* Rebuilt from the ground up in 2002, preserving and combining 1920s Los Feliz charm with modern systems that minimize CapEx exposure.
* Durable yields: current pricing supports approximately a 5% cap rate as a rental, with Los Feliz rents among the strongest in the city.
* For an owner-user, monthly ownership costs are comparable to renting - plus you keep the appreciation, the tax benefits, and the control.
With markets already pricing in a Fed pivot next spring when Powell terms out, it’s a timely opportunity to add a high-quality, depreciation-ready asset to your portfolio before year-end and before prices spike again when rates come down.
