Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1996, this 28-year-old property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it primarily features its original construction style. While the kitchen has been refreshed with stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, the cabinetry, bathroom fixtures, and overall interior design reflect the mid-90s era rather than a modern renovation. It fits the 'fair' criteria as an aged property maintained through regular upkeep without having undergone a full-scale contemporary overhaul within the last 15 years.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Non-Rent Controlled Status
Built in 1996, this property is exempt from San Francisco's restrictive rent control ordinances, providing investors with significantly more flexibility in lease terms and market-rate adjustments.
- Owner-Occupant Opportunity
The lower 3BD/2BA flat and one garage space are delivered vacant, making this a turnkey opportunity for an owner-user to occupy a spacious unit while offsetting the mortgage with rental income.
- Exceptional Location
Located in the desirable Richmond District, the property is within walking distance of Golden Gate Park, Lands End, and popular commercial corridors on Balboa and Clement Streets.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Shared Amenities
The reliance on shared coin-operated laundry and a shared backyard may limit the property's appeal to high-end tenants who prioritize private, in-unit facilities.
- Bonus Space Compliance
The ground-level 1BD/1BA is marketed as a 'bonus space,' which may not be a legally permitted third unit, potentially affecting financing options and official rental income valuations.
