AddressIntel AI Briefing
Given the extremely tight lot size and lack of SB 9 or ADU pathways, the optimal play is a straightforward cosmetic rehab of the existing historic structure. The low median household income and high renter ratio in the census block group suggest targeting a high-yield rental repositioning rather than a premium resale. Liquefaction hazards and a lack of expansion space act as major blockers to any physical footprint expansion.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Median of 12 recent multi-family sales in San Jose (95112): $638/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 1,500 sqft build, because smaller houses sell for more per foot and pricing a rebuild off them overstates resale.
Commission, transfer tax and closing. Deducted from resale before profit, so the ROI below is net of the exit rather than gross.
Interest on the purchase price for the whole project plus half the build budget, since construction draws ramp up. The default is 7% over 33 months, the median purchase-to-sale time of 239 real Peninsula and South Bay rebuilds. Set the rate to 0 for a cash purchase, or use your own lender's terms.
