San Francisco notes

The four hard things regular buyers get wrong here.

First, the progressive transfer tax — it scales from 0.5% under $250K to 6% on sales over $25M, and it's traditionally a seller cost. We cover it. Second, TIC structuring — Tenancy-in-Common interests aren't condos and need separate financing, percentage deeds, and TIC-experienced attorneys. We work with ours. Third, rent control — pre-1979 buildings carry the SF rent ordinance, and we take over occupied units without using the Ellis Act. Fourth, soft-story garages — most pre-war SFRs need retrofitting, and we factor that into the offer up front.

Active across Sunset, Richmond, Mission, Excelsior, Bayview, Bernal Heights, Outer Mission, Visitacion Valley, and the rest of the city. Foggy belt Edwardians, Victorian rebuilds, post-war ranches in Ingleside, condos in SoMa, TICs in Noe Valley — same straight process across all of it.

FAQ

San Francisco — FAQ

Something we didn't cover? Pick up the phone, we'll answer it straight.

Do you buy condos and TICs in San Francisco? +
All three — SFRs, condos, and Tenancy-in-Common interests. TIC purchases need specific structuring (separate loans, shared deeds, percentage interests). We work with TIC-experienced SF attorneys and have closed plenty of share buyouts and full-building TIC dissolutions.
Can you handle a rent-controlled tenant-occupied building? +
Yes. The tenant stays under the existing rent-controlled lease and we take over as landlord — same rules, same rent. We do not use the Ellis Act to clear tenants. If you've been holding a building because you didn't want to displace anyone, this is a clean path out.
How does SF transfer tax actually work, and who pays it? +
SF transfer tax is progressive — 0.5% under $250K up to 6% on sales over $25M. It's traditionally a seller expense in SF, but we cover it as part of our closing-cost commitment. The number on the offer is the number that wires.
Do you buy SF fixers — fire, water damage, foundation? +
Routinely. SF has a lot of pre-1950 housing with deferred maintenance, soft-story garages, fire damage that never got rebuilt, and foundation work that's been put off for decades. We buy them as they sit and underwrite with realistic repair budgets.
