Currently a 1900 era 1 bed/1 bath tenant occupied house on Pine St between Broderick and Baker. Nice Lower Pacific Heights location - great block with some incredible homes. House is a mess as-is, but has a small yard and a garage. Owner purchased in 2006 for $1,125,000 and is now “motivated.” Owner has unpermitted plans to create 3 bed/3.5 bath 2800+ square foot house, which is consistent with most of the block.

In Coach A’s sporadic installments of Investor Alley he picks a house, building or condo and talks about how somebody can create a return on their investment. He’s also taking a stab at some other investments and shootin’ the sh*t with his friends over at his blog.

Schtuff:

My Plan:

  1. Add an internal flight of stairs from the northern most wall in the “plus” room and connect the flat to the legal space downstairs.
  2. Open the wall between the “plus” room and nook. This would create a legit 3rd bedroom up or a great home office area. Read the rest of this entry »

The weekly investment installment where Coach A picks a house, building or condo and talks about how somebody can create a return on their investment…

Schtuff:
Address: 657 Ulloa Street
‘Hood: West Portal
Price: $889,000
Beds: 2
Baths: 1
Sq. ft.: 1506
Extra: in-law unit

Plan:

  • Purchase for $945,000 in as-is condition with a 21 day close (gonna be some competition for this one)
  • Spend $100-$150K in upgrades (Home is in move in condition, but most likely needs a new roof.)
    • blow out the interior walls to reconfigure the space into a more suitable 2 bed / 1.5 bath upstairs and refine the outdoor space and garage area.
  • Keep the in-law rented and generate $1100.00 a month.
  • Ultimately, drop an interior staircase in the home and create a 3 bed / 2.5 bath 2500 sq.ft. home

House 1 Deets:

2821 Turk Street
Price $950,000
2 bed + sun room
1.5 baths
1725 sq feet (tax record)

Comments: The home needs a few “small” tweaks before it’s move-in ready, but there are some incredible expansion possibilities given the size of the garage. A $200K - $250K remodel would still put this house well under market value. It would make sense to remodel the kitchen and bath on the main level, create a master suite opening to the yard in the garage. These additionals can be done legally making the house 2400+ sqft with 3 beds, 2.5 baths, sun-room/office, yard and will still have parking.

House 2 Deets:

2539 Turk Street (extremely similar to house 1 with a nearly identical floor plan and location. This home has more upgrades and shows substantially better than house 1, but is also directly in front of a Muni stop.)

Price:1,150,000
3 beds
1 bath sq ft.
1683 square feet (tax record)

Comments: In contract after 10 days on the market (let’s assume it sold for slightly over the asking price)

Lone Mountain Deets: 2007
14 single family home sales
Average list price: $1,259,000
Average sales price: $1,350,000

FULL DISCLOSURE: This listing is held by a Home San Francisco Agent

Deets:
Address: 504 Ellsworth Street
Price: $869,000
Currently 1000 sq feet of living space (per tax records)
3 bedrooms
1.5 bathrooms
Garage
Garden and deck
TONS of storage
Just 2 blocks from Cortland Ave.

Investment opportunity - An architect has developed a rendering which would legally convert a large portion of the garage into a master suite opening to a garden and yard. Once done, some small changes can me made upstairs to better utilize the living space. You are looking at a remodel of approximately $140K.

Before you shake your head in disbelief, take a look at some comparable stats:

[update: An offer was accepted in 4 days after the home hit the market and is currently pending]

2832-2834 Anza Street
Price: $1,150,000

Two unit building - each unit is approximately 1650 square feet and consists of 2+ bedrooms, 1 bath, large living room, big kitchens and tons of 1920 detailing. Add 2+ car garage with additional storage and a shared back yard and the building sits on a quiet block in the Richmond district within walking distance of a ton of amenities.

Upper unit is vacant- full disclosure: an elderly man died of natural causes in the space.

Lower unit is rented for $1200.00 a month on a month-to-month basis; the tenant has yet to respond so we don’t know if they are protected.

Here’s what I would do with this space:
