Buy & Hold Historic Duplex in Sacramento

[Scott Scoville]

Just finished one of our bigger projects. We purchased this buy and hold historic duplex which faces William Land Park in Sacramento. We rehabbed the entire property and added an additional bedroom to each of the units. While we were a bit over budget and slightly over our projected timeline, we were still able to force appreciate the property by $100k. Interested in learning more about the Sacramento market, feel free to DM me.

Purchase Price: $882,250

Rehab: $260,000

Holding Costs: $60,000

Appraised: $1,300,000

Gross Rents: $6,800

Scott, this is incredible work! Turning a historic duplex into a high-performing asset while forcing $100k in appreciation is no small feat—seriously impressive.

I’m particularly fascinated by how you navigated the Sacramento market and managed the rehab process. Adding bedrooms to both units sounds like a game-changer for rent potential.

How did you decide on this property, and what’s been your biggest learning from this project? Also, would you say Sacramento still has strong opportunities for buy-and-hold investors like myself looking to get started?

I’d love to connect and learn more about your process!
