About this home

WOW! Check this price!!! LOWEST PRICED Duplex in Carlsbad! INCREDIBLE DEAL + SUPER MOTIVATED SELLER! Bring your buyers that know VALUE. Just compare! NEWER construction & just a few blocks from the OCEAN. Zoned as duplex but sits between two multi family lots & alley behind. Drive around but please do not disturb tenants. [Supplement]: This is NOT, NOT, NOT a foreclosure or short sale!!! Just RIDICULOUSLY LOW PRICE, since the SUPER-MOTIVATED seller wants it SOLD NOW. Property has an alley-accessed detached oversized 4-car garage (each separate has own garage door entry). Although zoned as duplex, it can possibly be converted to multi-family, making it that much more valuable. A lot of work has been done on the property. Seller states rents could be increased $200 more per month per unit. ALSO. .. .. Seller and neighbors just put up sturdy long life block retaining walls costing over $ 12,000. Seller added more hardscape and sheet rocked the two large separate entry garages. Seller states water / garbage will is $ 104 per month and tenants take care of landscaping. Both tenants on one year lease one tenant has been in unit over 4 years and recently asked for a 5 year lease extension. The other unit that vacated last month rented in 3 days just by putting a for rent sign in front yard. Since duplex is newer construction both units have their own power and gas meters that the tenants pay. As an added plus the lot is between a two Multi Family Zoned properties for future lot merge / build up potential: 3265-67 Madison St Multi Family Dwelling 2-4 units and 3237 Madison St Apartment - Multi-Resid 5-30. Seller is selling because he is investing in an out of area property. Rent in # 1 unit being raised to 1,850 so new income will be: 1,850 + 1,900 = 3,750 per month. An incredible value for location (West of I-5, 3 blocks from Carlsbad Village Dr and 4 blocks to the beach)!
