What an Operator Sees
This isn't the prettiest building in Hollywood, and that's exactly why I found the sale interesting. Despite its average appearance, it still traded at an 8.8 going-in GRM and a 7.34% cap rate—another sign buyers are willing to pay for stable cash flow in well-located Los Angeles apartments. Buildings like this also tend to have lower resident turnover than newer luxury product, creating more predictable operations and fewer costly unit turns. I'm watching to see whether more older apartment buildings begin trading in this range, because that's how new market pricing gets established.
Building something bigger.
I track every multifamily sale in Los Angeles so you don't have to.
