Published at our defaults: House-Hack wins by $660,403 · S&P breakeven 17.9% · crash floor -1.4% published conservative basis

A A — the S&P 500 would need 17–21% a year, every year for a decade, to tie.

Engine scenarios

Scenario Verdict Margin S&P breakeven Crash floor
Conservative House-Hack +$660,403 17.9% -1.4%
Base House-Hack +$1,068,769 21.2% -2.1%
Optimistic House-Hack +$1,559,451 24.3% -3.1%

Conservative leads — base and optimistic are the accompanying range, never the headline. Margin is vs. investing the same money in the S&P 500.

Why it made the board

Six days on market for a $1,595,000 triplex where one unit is delivered vacant and the two tenanted units already pay $10,577/mo between them. You move into the empty one and the existing leases start covering the note immediately. Castro Muni Metro sits 0.46 mi downhill, and this deal still wins unless SF home prices fall more than 1.4% a year for ten straight years.

The play

Live in one unit, rent the other two.

Financing basis: Owner-occupied at 3.5% down.

Tenant pool

Tech and professional households / Hospital staff (CPMC Davies Campus, in-ZIP)

Rent basis

  • Hack phase (you occupy one unit): $10,577/mo
  • Full rental (after move-out): $12,953/mo

Ours: 3.5% (FHA floor) — changes affordability, barely the economics.
