About This Home

We are pleased to present the opportunity to acquire 3109 S. Catalina Street, a fully renovated 5-bedroom + 4-bathroom student housing investment located in the highly coveted West of Campus neighborhood within the USC DPS Patrol Zone. Just blocks from the University of Southern California, the property sits in one of the strongest student housing rental markets in Los Angeles, consistently achieving premium rents, full occupancy, and year-round tenant demand. Currently occupied by USC students, the property generates $6,500 per month in gross income. Backed by a proven operational history, parental guarantees, and strong in-place cash flow, the asset delivers immediate yield and stable income from day one. The offering consists of a beautifully restored 1905 Craftsman single family residence, totaling approximately 1,140 rentable square feet on a 3,125 square foot lot. The property has undergone extensive renovations with modern, high-end finishes throughout, including hardwood flooring, updated countertops, stainless steel appliances, tiled showers with glass enclosures, in-unit washers and dryers, furnished bedrooms, fully updated kitchens and bathrooms, recessed lighting, and contemporary fixtures. In addition to strong in-place cash flow, the property presents a significant value-add opportunity through the construction of an ADU at the rear of the lot. With ample remaining lot area and favorable zoning for ADU development, an incoming investor has a clear path to meaningfully increase gross income, boost overall yield, and enhance long-term property value, mirroring the proven ADU model already thriving throughout the USC student housing submarket. Operating costs are minimal, as tenants are responsible for all utilities; gas, water, trash, and electricity, allowing ownership to retain a larger share of gross income as NOI. Priced at a 7% cap rate and 11.6x GRM, the property delivers both stabilized cash flow and a clear roadmap for future growth through ADU development, making it an attractive long-term hold in a supply-constrained pocket of Los Angeles.
