AddressIntel AI Briefing

The optimal play is a traditional deep interior remodel and hold strategy, as SB 9 is not applicable and ADU feasibility is unrated. The property sits in a block group with lower owner-occupancy and median incomes, favoring cost-conscious renovations. Capitalizing on the existing duplex-style layout is the most sensible play.

Proforma ROI Calculator

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.

Median of 11 recent multi-family sales in San Jose (95128): $567/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 2,900 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.

Carry on total capital for the project duration. At 0% the model is a cash purchase; 12 months at a typical construction-loan rate moves ROI by 6 to 10 points on a deal this size, so price it with your real rate.
