How to Navigate Rent Control and Real Estate Challenges in San Francisco

Girdley Media Episode 32

Let us know what you think about the show

This week on Real Estate Anonymous, we’re tackling a wild one: a 33-unit multifamily property in San Francisco that’s equal parts opportunity and chaos. Think rent control nightmares, a parking lot with no easement, and a city with more red tape than sense.

Joining us is Andrew Jeffery, a seasoned investor who’s spent years wading through the ups and downs of San Francisco’s real estate market. From tenant buyouts that feel more like hostage negotiations to finding hidden value in one of the country’s most misunderstood cities, Andrew breaks down why he’s still willing to play this high-stakes game.

Highlights:
- Rent Control Roulette: When your tenants pay 1980s rent, but your expenses are stuck in 2024.

- No Easement, No Problem? How a parking lot could make or break this deal.

- Why San Francisco? Fighting through the noise to find overlooked opportunities.

- The Tenant Game: Buyouts, bureaucracy, and navigating city politics like a pro.
