@Steve Buchanan

Why do you need to buyout the tenant for if I may ask?

@Shannon Shue

Why do you need to buyout your tenant if I may ask?

@Andrew Hogan

That is possible... I agree ...

@Andrew Hogan

I don’t believe for a second that 20% is a “normal” return that can be expected in syndication... 5%~ 8%?maybe....

Is 20% is achievable, everyone on Wall Street will be out of a job....

@Shafi Noss

I might get shot 10 times in the head but I am still going to say it...

I would NEVER, like under no circumstances kind of never, invest in a syndication....

Too many scammers out there, and then a whole host of indicator with good intention but failed anyway.....

I buy properties and hold them in solely ownership....

If I don’t have enough money to buy properties, I will simply put them in savings account

Ok now shoot me

This law is all about political showmanship, than truly helping tenants...

5% annual increase is more than what most landlords are doing in reality... One month's rent to evict is not that bad either....

The reason SF rent control is so tough is becasue eviction in SF costs between 40~60 months of rent

@Costin I.

You are so clueless about SF market, but each to their own and not worth debating over....

Just to show you how I can buy a property at 20% below market without need for repair.....

@Costin I.

So I bought it for $560K and appraised at $680K 2 weeks later... Now if you want to use Zillow, Zillow has it at $757K..... my view is it is likely $700K valuation TODAY.....no future appreciation needed.....

So my $60K downpayment is now $180K to $257K, depends on which value you want to use.....

Tenant is a single guy late 20s works for Google making $190K a year, ACH the rent on day 1 of each month, so no PM needed....Vacancy is likely 2 weeks per every 5 years in SF....

So you can run the math from there.... if I prefer, I can offer tenant $20K to leave, and put the property on the market to sell for $700K TODAY.....

But I am off track a bit here... My initial intent is to show OP that are good deals on MLS.....
