Step by Step

How to sell a triplex in 5 steps

  1. Confirm the city and rules. City of LA pre-1978: RSO, 3% for 2026–27 (LAHD bulletin). Burbank and Redondo Beach: not LA RSO; AB 1482 may apply.
  2. Collect leases for estoppels. Rent, deposit and lease terms per tenant.
  3. Show the upside. ADU space, separate meters, renovations. 1225 N Hollywood Way had room for an ADU over the garages.
  4. Price on GRM and cap rate. Then test it against nearby sales.
  5. Market to all buyers. Owner-users, investors and 1031 buyers; 18218 Mansel Ave sold to a 1031 buyer in 21 days.

Questions

Triplex Seller Questions

How is a triplex valued?

On GRM, cap rate, price per unit and price per square foot, checked against nearby sales. Our three triplex sales traded at GRMs of 14.4, 16.19 and 16.31.

What is a tenant estoppel?

A signed statement from each tenant confirming rent, deposit and lease terms. Buyers and lenders often ask for them in escrow, so collect lease files early.

Is my Burbank triplex under LA rent control?

No. Burbank is a separate city, so the City of LA RSO does not apply; state AB 1482 may (Civ. Code §1947.12). Confirm with your attorney.

Can an owner-occupant buy a triplex?

Yes. A triplex with a larger unit can suit an owner-user; 7423 Haskell Ave had a 3-bed, 2-bath unit with central A/C that the listing described as a potential owner-user unit. Tony Sameyah of The Saghian Group handled that sale.

Does Measure ULA apply to my triplex?

Only in the City of Los Angeles and only above $5,400,000 for sales closing after June 30, 2026 (LA Finance).
