Margin is vs. investing the same money in the S&P 500; the S&P breakeven is the yearly stock return that would tie it, and the crash floor is the yearly appreciation below which the deal loses. Wealth at year 10 counts home equity at full value; the sold line subtracts selling costs. ## Property facts Asking price $2,995,000 Units 2 Beds / baths 4 / 4.5 Square feet 3,209 Year built 1939 Property type Single Family Days on market 20 Neighborhood Stonestown / SF State corridor Strategy lane room-by-room Nearest catalyst SFSU (0.91 mi) Modeled appreciation 4.0%/yr Unit count: unverified A single source states 1 unit; no independent record corroborates it.

History replay Years Ends vs the never-buy path Worst window 1989→1999 −$6,278,812 Median window 1983→1993 −$1,450,021 Best window 1996→2006 +$3,752,814 27 of the 41 windows ended behind the never-buy path. Replay the 2008 crash as it hit this area and the deal ends year 10 $2,820,794 behind the never-buy path; the deepest point comes in year 10, $2,820,794 behind. The replay holds rent growth to the local legal cap the whole way down. These windows track San Francisco County as a whole. Within the county, individual ZIPs' realized 10-year outcomes typically differed from the county's by about ±0.6 points/yr — one zip-decade in ten differed by ±1.8 points/yr or more, and the largest gap since 1975 was 7.4 points/yr. A specific building varies more than its ZIP, not less. ## Where these numbers come from Of the 11 inputs behind this analysis, 2 trace to evidence (our listing feed, area comps, county records); 3 are standing conventions; 4 are derived from other inputs. - **Purchase price**: an unclassified source · no independent witness - **Rent while you live in one unit**: derived from other inputs here · single source - **Rent after you move out**: derived from other inputs here · single source - **The rent you would pay on the never-buy path**: derived from other inputs here · single source - **Property tax rate**: an unclassified source · no independent witness - **Unit count**: county assessor records · single source A standing convention is a deliberate modeling choice we apply to every deal. We flag it rather than dress it up as evidence. ## Order the verified underwrite This page is our automated underwriting.
