406 Ellwood Beach Drive

Goleta, CA 93117

-Prime Coastal Location: Located steps from Ellwood Beach in the highly sought-after Goleta submarket of Santa Barbara County, benefiting from strong renter demand driven by proximity to UCSB, Isla Vista spillover, and major South Coast employment centers. -Desirable Unit Mix: Two-bedroom layouts align with strong local demand from students, young professionals, and shared living arrangements common in the UCSB-adjacent rental market. -Clear Rental Upside: Current rents average $2,845 for two-bedroom/one-bath units and $2,994 for two-bedroom/two-bath units, while renovated units achieve $3,200 per month, demonstrating immediate mark-to-market potential. -Proven Renovation Strategy: Upgrades including new appliances, water heaters, interior paint, and modern finishes have been completed for approximately $40,000 per unit, establishing a repeatable value-add model. -Additional Income Stream: On-site laundry generates approximately $6,000 in annual ancillary income. -Favorable Regulatory Environment: Goleta follows California's AB 1482 rent cap (5% + CPI, max 10%) and has not implemented stricter local rent control, unlike nearby Santa Barbara, Oxnard, and Ojai. -Supply-Constrained Market: Limited new development along the Santa Barbara South Coast continues to support long-term rent growth for well-located coastal assets.
