Listing remarks MLS

After being carefully stewarded by the same family for over sixty years, this stunning Edwardian is ready for someone new to take the helm. Maybe that someone is you? The upstairs flat has been renovated into a modern 4 bedroom/1 bath home with a stunning open kitchen/living dining room where south sunlight streams through huge windows. The kitchen island provides a great place for dining whie chatting with cook and beyond there is ample room for even the biggest of comfy sofas to take in a movie or spend time discussing the happenings of the day. The flat is completed by a big laundry porch, with room for storage and access via rear stairs to the shared back yard. The lower flat is currently tenant occupied @ 2936.74/month. The flexible five room floor plan provides two or three bedrooms a large kitchen, one split bath, separate laundry porch with access to the shared back yard. The location is amazing with access to Bernal, Noe and Glen Park all within reach. You can take an evening stroll to the top of Bernal or spend time at the Outer Noe Rec Center just as easily. Enjoy brunch of Waffles at Four Chairs, a classic Italian dinner at Emmy's Spaghetti Shack or high end sushi at Chīsai Sushi Club. With favorites The Front Porch on the block and Mitchell's Ice Cream just kitty corner, you are right in the center of a very special island of delicious eats. When you need a pick me up, Pinhole Coffee is just steps away on Cortland, along with one of SF's best grocery stores, and too many other convenient delights to list.

🏷️ Possibly a rental listed for sale. The $999,000 price doesn't fit this home's estimated sale value (~$1,322,202) and the remarks read like a rental — treat the cards below with caution.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 5-bed/2.0-bath multifamily listed at $999k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $4k ($50k/yr) — positive.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($13k rent vs $999k).
  • Cap rate 11.3% 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 (+14.5%/yr); 161 active listings in the ZIP; 3 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals lingering (median 44d on market — plan ~5-8 weeks vacancy on turnover, expect pricing pressure); 67% of comp listings sitting > 30 days — soft ceiling on asking rent; high-income renter base; 750 units permitted in San Francisco County in 2024 (688 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $12,786/mo this rent would consume 97% of the median local household income ($158k/yr) (locally 2732% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $7k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $30k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • San Francisco County population projected at +39% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
  • At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 8.0% rent growth), your $280k cash investment doubles in ~6 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Negotiation context

  • Only 8 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
  • 2 sale attempts since 31y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $499k (33%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1908 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Recommended offer $999,000

Questions for the listing agent

  1. Built in 1908 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  2. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  3. 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?
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
