Pacific Beach Multi-Family Property

Located in the Pacific Beach neighborhood of San Diego, this 8-unit multi-family property, built in 1972, spans 5,380 square feet. The property features a mix of 1-bedroom and 2-bedrooms. It offers shared patios, on-site laundry facilities, and garage parking. The location provides easy access to the beach, bay, and local amenities.

Before Arrow:
The property was self-managed and faced several issues:

  • One vacant unit and one non-paying tenant.
  • Units were renting below market value.
  • Deferred maintenance and outdated leasing and tenant screening strategies.
  • Lacked a capital improvement plan.

After Arrow:
We updated the leasing strategy, increased rents, and addressed maintenance issues to enhance both tenant satisfaction and the property’s value.


Improvements Made:

  • Exterior paint and updates to decks, railings, and fencing.
  • Stucco repairs and updated tenant screening practices.
  • Increased rent and secured stable long-term leases.

Outcome:
By implementing strategic improvements and adjusting leasing strategies, occupancy increased, and rental income grew significantly. The property was successfully stabilized, with a 36% increase in rental income and a 13% increase in property value.

Problem We Solved
