5529 Dairy

About this home

5529 Dairy Ave is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey 10-unit, non-rent-controlled apartment building in North Long Beach that produces strong cash flow from day one. Offered at $3,350,000, the property delivers an approximately 7% cap rate on current scheduled rents. The building was taken down to the framing in 2022 under permit and extensively rebuilt with a new roof, new electrical and plumbing systems, new HVAC, new windows, and an individual water heater for every unit. Interiors feature new cabinetry, flooring, recessed lighting, updated bathrooms, and stainless steel appliances, complemented by drought-tolerant landscaping. The unit mix consists of five 1 bed / 1 bath units and five 2 bed / 1 bath units, including three newly built ADUs. Gas and electricity are separately metered and paid directly by the tenants. Five of the ten units are master leased to a single organization, providing one rent payment each month and reduced property management demands. With every major building system substantially new, near-term capital expenditure requirements are minimal. As a non-LA-City rent-controlled asset, the property also allows significant 8.7% annual rent increases (5% + CPI) for future upside. The property is located roughly five miles from Douglas Park and the Long Beach Airport aerospace corridor, where Anduril, Rocket Lab, Relativity, and other major employers continue to expand, and offers convenient access to the 710, 91, and 405 freeways. A coastal-city rental market without coastal-city pricing.
