Get to know the property.

This meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath Newport Shores home offers a spacious two-story floor plan plus two outdoor living spaces, a rare combination in this close-knit beach community. Hardwood floors throughout the main floor living areas, plantation shutters, exposed wood beams, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and a wood-burning brick fireplace add warmth and character.

The flexible floor plan features an open kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a bright dining area that connects seamlessly to the living spaces. The main level includes a bedroom and adjacent bath with walk-in shower, while upstairs offers three additional bedrooms, including two connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath with dual sinks and granite countertops. A distinctive A-frame room adds flexibility and architectural character, making it ideal for a bonus room, playroom, home office, or creative space.

Two outdoor living areas further enhance the home’s appeal. The front patio offers privacy behind a brick wall and vinyl fencing, while the rear patio provides a shaded retreat beneath a pergola just off the kitchen, offering multiple spaces for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying Southern California’s outdoor lifestyle.

The home has been well cared for over the years, with numerous updates and improvements throughout.

These are planning assumptions, not a rental appraisal or a loan quote. The starting rent is a price-based estimate; a local leasing professional can help confirm market rent.

Investor outlook assumes an all-cash purchase. No mortgage payment is deducted.

Purchase price
Rental income & operating costs

Purchase price × 5% ÷ 12. Updates with purchase price until you enter a custom rent.

Annual insurance starts at purchase price × 0.25%, rounded to the nearest available amount. Updates with purchase price until you choose another amount.A planning estimate, not an insurance quote. Adjust it for your property and coverage.

Percentages are editable examples, not ERA fee quotes. Management is applied to rent after vacancy; maintenance and capital reserves use scheduled rent. Add owner-paid utilities, mortgage insurance and other recurring expenses under other costs.

How this scenario is calculated

Annual operating income is rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA and other operating costs, before financing and capital reserves. Cap rate divides annual operating income by purchase price. Estimated monthly cash flow assumes an all-cash purchase: rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA, other operating costs and capital reserves. No mortgage payment is deducted. The mortgage calculator is separate; loan payments would reduce cash flow for a financed purchase. One-time acquisition costs, renovations, income taxes, depreciation and appreciation are excluded.

Mortgage payment calculator

Explore financing separately. These loan settings do not change the all-cash investor outlook.

Mortgage assumptions

20% down and 7% interest are illustrative starting values.

Estimated monthly principal & interestLoan payment only. Excludes property taxes, homeowners/flood insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues.

About this payment estimate

Based on a fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan with monthly payments and the price, down payment, interest rate and term you select. The interest rate is an example, not a current rate offer or APR; APR includes certain loan costs. This is an illustration, not a Loan Estimate, approval, offer of credit or commitment to lend.

Your actual payment, rate and eligibility depend on your lender, credit, loan program and property. Closing costs, points, prepaid expenses and lender fees are not included. Taxes and insurance may change, and mortgage insurance may be required, particularly with a down payment below 20%. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate and a complete monthly payment including applicable taxes, insurance and fees.

Dollar results are rounded to the nearest cent; calculations retain precision until display. A cash purchase has no loan payment but still has ownership costs. Understand your total home payment (CFPB).
