Michael's Take
Boyle Heights is close to pure RSO inventory. The stock is overwhelmingly pre-1978, the tenancies are long, and the gap between in-place and market rents is among the widest in the city — which is exactly what value-add buyers are looking for and exactly what makes the path to realising it slow. Sellers here should expect buyers to underwrite turnover conservatively, and should come to market with a documented turnover history if they want that assumption improved. This is also a neighborhood where displacement is a live political issue, and a seller who has operated well has a genuinely easier transaction.
