Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1911, this property shows signs of regular maintenance but features significantly dated interiors, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen has older style light wood cabinets, a mirrored backsplash, and basic tile flooring, suggesting updates from 15-30 years ago. The bathroom is clearly outdated with 80s/90s style beige tiles and basic fixtures, requiring a full renovation. While the living areas have decent flooring and recessed lighting, the overall condition points to a need for substantial cosmetic updates to meet current market expectations and achieve the noted 'value-add upside'.

Diversified Income Stream: Property is a two-unit duplex (3-Bed/1-Bath & 2-Bed/1-Bath), offering diversified rental income and reduced vacancy risk.
Immediate Cash Flow: Generates a strong in-place annual income of $91,861, providing immediate returns for investors.
Substantial Rental Upside: Significant value-add potential with a 38% rental upside, projecting market rents of $127,200 annually.

Prime Urban Market Location: Located in San Francisco, a highly desirable and stable market known for strong rental demand and property appreciation.
Cons
Advanced Age of Structure: Built in 1911, the property's age suggests potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical) and higher maintenance or renovation costs.
Capital Expenditure for Upside: Realizing the full 38% rental upside will likely necessitate capital investment in unit renovations or upgrades.
High Acquisition Cost: The list price of $1,579,000 represents a significant capital outlay, potentially limiting the pool of prospective buyers.
