Eagle Rock six units in excellent rental area. 2200 Las Colinas $1,175,000

2200-2212 Las Colinas Ave. Los Angeles CA 90041

My newest listing is one I would love to buy myself. This is a six unit apartment building well located in my beloved home town of Eagle Rock, CA 90041. Eagle Rock is the 2nd hottest neighborhood in the USA for 2014 according to Redfin and the buzz here is palpable. Buyers have been overbidding each other to snap up residential houses for years now and new restaurants and bars are opening seemingly every month. Eagle Rock and NELA in general are very hot real estate markets and prices are reflecting that.


 This property is near the intersections of Eagle Rock, Colorado and York. It is 4 blocks from Occidental College and within a mile of at least two dozen restaurants in Eagle Rock and Highland Park. All of NELA is very convenient to Downtown LA, Silver Lake, Pasadena and Glendale. With the reemergence of Downtown LA as a regional employment center NELA becomes an ideal city commuter neighborhood that still has rolling lush hills and quirky interesting houses. 


The property has had only had one owner. The family that built it has been living in it and managing it since 1947. They built it to last and lovingly cared for it. The kids who grew up here now have their own kids and have moved out of the area. The units were always well maintained and exceptionally clean. There are new windows on the rear side of the building, new flooring and dishwasher in the owners unit and a new sprinkler system. This is truly a turnkey property with no deferred maintenance. The tenants are friendly and many are long term on month to month leases. There are four one bedroom units at 2200-2208 Las Colinas and another studio unit and one large two bedroom unit at 2210-2212 Las Colinas totaling 4706 square feet of living area. Existing rental income is $5534 monthly. Asking price is $1,175,000 for more information contact Sky Minor.

Sky Minor listing in Hip Highland Park - 5656 Aldama st. 90042

5656 Aldama st. is Sky's new Preferred Realty and Loan listing in the hot LA neighborhood that everybody seems to ask me about, Highland Park. Highland Park is a hilly and historic area in Northeast Los Angeles (NELA to the locals) just North of Downtown LA. "HLP" runs along the Arroyo Seco and 110 freeway and has many beautiful views of Downtown and the San Gabriel Mountains from its palm tree lined streets. HLP is on the upswing and is gentrifying quickly just like Silver Lake did 10 years ago as artists, musicians and creative types flock to the lush valleys and hillsides. New restauraunts are opening on York Blvd each month and the Highland Park Art Walk is getting bigger all time. In the last couple of years Highland Park has blossomed into a hip, fun and stylish neighborhood. It is very centrally located on the East Side of Los Angeles, no more than 10 minutes from Downtown LA, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Silver Lake or Echo Park. There is a Metro Stop to allow train access all over the city and there are three freeways nearby making it a short trip to anywhere. Prices in this neighborhood are lower than neighboring South Pasadena and Eagle Rock but home prices in the zip code 90042 is steadily increasing as more and more people discover the area and move in.

Price reduction! Steal this house! Highland Park Hip Flip Remodeled Bungalow 2+2 with sick views!

UPDATE 12/8/11 the seller just lowered the price and told me to "MOVE THIS HOUSE, SKY"
New listing price $289k.


I love this job. Sometimes I get to sell houses that I really like and would buy myself.



It makes it so much fun to move properties that you enjoy. This new listing I have in my NELA home turf is one such property. It is a house in my neighborhood that is rehabbed well and is a bargain to boot. This is a great deal for a first time buyer. Freshly remodeled bungalow in the hills of Highland Park done right: Two Bedrooms, Two bathrooms. Big deck with amazing south facing views. Huge back yard that is both terraced and flat. Low water eco-minded landscaping, indoor laundry, Garage you can actually park a car in. On a quiet street with mostly rehabbed houses in super trendy Highland Park (HLP),this bungalow is well priced at $319,ooo. It is a compact house, but it is intelligently designed and super efficient. If Ikea can do a 400 square foot house, this one has room to spare. The property is centrally located: Five minutes from Pasadena, 10 minutes from Downtown LA and a 15 minute walk to the Gold Line. If you don't know about what's going on up in Highland Park yet, call me and I'll show you around.






6162 Strickland Ave. Highland Park CA 90042.
