Inside the Residence
How We Position This Home to the Market
Build-and-Hold Income Play
Positioned to investors underwriting Long Beach rents: a 2 bed / 2 bath 1,233 sf primary unit, a 1,492 sf 3 bed / 2.5 bath SB9 unit, and two 1,200 sf 3 bed / 2 bath ADUs.
Shovel-Ready Premium
The value here is time. Marketing leads with the entitlement package — plans, permits, and approvals a buyer can take over within weeks rather than start from zero.
Strong Long Beach Rental Market
Central Long Beach location near the 405 and 605, CSULB, Long Beach Medical Center, and the downtown employment core keeps the rental demand story credible for lenders and buyers.
Flip Optionality
A second audience: builders who intend to construct and sell. The presentation frames both exit strategies so the property competes for every dollar of investor attention.

Zaferia & The Circle
