AddressIntel AI Briefing

The optimal play is stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU to bypass the tight lot boundaries and capture rental upside. Liquefaction serves as a geotechnical blocker, but San Jose's high permit activity indicates strong demand. High owner-occupancy rates in the area will protect the long-term asset value.
