Listing remarks MLS

44 McAllister Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale multifamily asset in the heart of San Francisco's Civic Center/Tenderloin neighborhood. The property consists of two hundred twelve (212) SRO units within a well-maintained, elevator-served building totaling approximately 59,684 square feet on a 9,473 square foot lot. Originally constructed in 1923, the building offers classic San Francisco architecture paired with efficient, functional layouts designed to support high-density urban living. The asset has historically operated as a supportive housing community, aligning with the mission of Civic Center Residence and providing stable, needs-based housing through a combination of tenant rents, government subsidies, and service-related income streams. This structure creates a reliable revenue base while also offering a future owner the flexibility to continue operating as supportive housing or reposition the asset over time. The property benefits from its central location just steps from Civic Center, Market Street, and multiple major transit corridors, providing immediate access to employment hubs, public transportation, and neighborhood-serving retail. The area continues to see significant public and private investment, reinforcing long-term demand for centrally located housing with convenient access to services and infrastructure. 44 McAllister Street offers investors a compelling combination of scale, in-place income, and operational upside. With a significant gap between current and market rents, as well as the opportunity to streamline expenses relative to historical operations, the property presents a clear path to increased cash flow and long-term value creation in one of San Francisco's most transit-oriented and supply-constrained rental markets.

🏷️ Possibly a rental listed for sale. The $9,000,000 price doesn't fit this home's estimated sale value (~$15,150,000) and the remarks read like a rental — treat the cards below with caution.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a multifamily listed at $9.00M.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $341k ($4.09M/yr) — positive.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($510k rent vs $9.00M).
  • Recommended offer: $8.73M (3.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 51.8% vs local median 2.1% in San Francisco — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads 76/100 on livability (#90 in CA, #3,143 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: amenities A+, commute A+, employment A+; Watch: crime F, cost of living F.
  • San Francisco Unified (urban): math 50% / reading 56% proficiency, ranked #322 of 1,400 in CA (top 23%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
  • Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+10.1%/yr); 63 active listings in the ZIP; 750 units permitted in San Francisco County in 2024 (688 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $510,329/mo this rent would consume 10134% of the median local household income ($60k/yr) (locally 3769% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.

Forward outlook

  • In year one you build about $494k of equity ($62k loan paydown + $432k appreciation (4.8% local appreciation)).
  • San Francisco County population projected at +39% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
  • At projected returns (4.8% appreciation + 8.0% rent growth), your $2.52M cash investment doubles in ~1 year — after that, you're playing with house money.
  • By year 2, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$793k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 56 days — a 3% lower offer ($8.73M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1923 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Recommended offer $8,730,000 (3.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 56 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 3% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Built in 1923 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  3. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  4. Schools are B-rated — typically a magnet for longer-tenancy family renters. What's the average tenant stay here, and is there a school-zone premium baked into asking?
  5. Crime grade is F in this area — have there been break-ins, vandalism, or insurance claims at this property in the last 3 years? What carrier currently insures it and at what premium?
  6. What's the average days-on-market for RENTAL listings here right now (not sales)? A rising rental-DOM trend means longer vacancies and softer asking-rent achievability than the comps imply.
  7. What's the recent tenant-quality profile in this submarket — average credit score on applications, eviction rate, late-payment / NSF rate, and stable-employment percentage? A property-management company in the area should have these aggregated.
  8. How much new apartment / multifamily construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply (>2% of stock underway) typically softens rents 12–24 months out; light construction supports rent growth.

For passive investors: Depreciation is non-cash, so a rental often shows a tax loss while cash-flowing — sheltering income. Rental losses are passive: they offset passive income freely, and up to $25,000/yr can offset ordinary (W-2) income if you actively participate and your MAGI is under $100k (phasing out to $0 by $150k); unused losses carry forward. On sale, claimed depreciation is recaptured at up to 25%, and gains may owe capital-gains tax (a 1031 exchange can defer both). Figures are a year-1 estimate at your 24.0% rate — not tax advice; consult a CPA.
