Each unit under $300k .... preposterous. You thought it couldn't happen in Los Angeles. This easy to rent duplex in Montebello is perfect for the investor or the first time buyer as FHA financing is a possibility. The interior space was opened for view on Dec. 11. Since this is that time of year, I would describe the duplex as "A tale of two units". One is as dark as the London sky of the 19th century. The tenant wishes privacy and has waived many of the upgrades that were given in the back unit. The tenant has lived in the home for 4 decades (since she was a child.) The back unit is bright airy and redone. The tenant is disabled and has section 8 housing. His family cares for him and his home and keeps it immaculate. Both tenants are punctual and long lasting which is every investor's dream.
