Excellent 1 bedroom with loft, renovated

This property was a target of mine starting about five to ten years ago. It’s a unique 1920’s style three story building right across the street from Alta Bates Medical Center in Oakland on Telegraph Ave.

Interior

Coved living room with dark wood stain

When I first saw the interior lofts it caught my eye and I knew there was something special about the property. It’s been about a year since I purchased the building and have renovated nearly all the units. Rents have gone up over 25% in less than a year.

This building was shown to many investors but nobody really saw the potential like I did. In fact I ran this opportunity buy a few of my investor friends and everybody balked at the building. But eventually I found the right partners and took down this excellent 9-Unit property for $670k. It’s worth nearly $900 now just one year later.

Sleeping Loft

Professional steel staircase provides access to sleeping loft
